Improvement in growth of plants under the effect of magnetized water

<abstract> <p>The magnetic field can change the polarity characteristics and hydrogen-bond structure of water; therefore, magnetized water can affect plant growth and development. Magnetized water is hexagonal water created by passing water through a specific magnet that can activate and ionize...

  1. Nutrient Uptake: In hydroponics, plants are grown in a nutrient-rich water solution instead of soil. The polar nature of water allows it to dissolve and carry ions (charged nutrients) through the solution. The positively charged hydrogen ions (H+) in water can interact with and help transport negatively charged anions like nitrate (NO3-) and phosphate (PO4-), while the negatively charged oxygen atoms can interact with and transport positively charged cations like potassium (K+), calcium (Ca2+), and magnesium (Mg2+).
  2. Ion Exchange: The interactions between water and ions are vital for ion exchange processes in plant roots. As plants take up water from the hydroponic solution, they release hydrogen ions (H+) into the solution, creating a localized environment with a slightly lower pH. This helps to release and make available positively charged ions (cations) from the hydroponic media, allowing plants to acquire essential nutrients.
  3. Nutrient Absorption: The polar interactions between water and ions facilitate the movement of nutrients from the hydroponic solution into the plant roots. This is essential for the plant's growth, as it ensures that nutrients are absorbed efficiently and utilized for various physiological processes.
  4. pH Regulation: The interactions between water and ions also influence the pH of the hydroponic solution. The release of hydrogen ions by the plant roots can impact the pH balance of the solution, which in turn affects nutrient availability. Proper pH control is crucial for preventing nutrient deficiencies or toxicities.
  5. Osmosis and Water Movement: The polar nature of water is also central to osmosis, the movement of water across cell membranes in response to ion concentrations. This process ensures that water and nutrients are transported from areas of lower concentration to areas of higher concentration within the plant's root cells.
 
Magnetically charged hydroponic media is a type of growing medium that has been exposed to a magnetic field. This process is thought to change the structure of the water molecules in the media, making them more available to the plants.

There is some scientific evidence to suggest that magnetically charged hydroponic media can improve plant growth. For example, one study found that tomatoes grown in magnetically charged water had higher yields than tomatoes grown in regular water.

However, more research is needed to confirm these findings and to determine the optimal strength and duration of the magnetic field for plant growth.

Here are some of the potential benefits of using magnetically charged hydroponic media:

  • Improved plant growth: Some studies have shown that plants grown in magnetically charged water or media have higher yields and better quality than plants grown in regular water or media.
  • Increased nutrient uptake: Magnetically charged water and media may help plants to uptake nutrients more effectively.
  • Reduced stress: Magnetically charged water and media may help plants to cope with stress, such as heat or drought.
  • Enhanced flavor: Some people believe that fruits and vegetables grown in magnetically charged water or media have better flavor.

Magnetism

Magnetism is the study of magnets which can either attract or detract from one another. Here we look at types of magnets and magnetic fields.

The study investigated the effects of magnetically treated irrigation water (MTIW) on the yield and quality of strawberry plants (Fragaria × ananassa Duch. cv. Camarosa) in the northwest region of Morocco.

The results showed that MTIW irrigation significantly increased the number of flowers, number of fruits, fruit yield, and percentage of export production. MTIW also improved the fruit size, with a higher percentage of large-caliber fruits.

The study also found that MTIW irrigation had a positive effect on the water use efficiency of strawberry plants.

Overall, the study showed that MTIW irrigation is a promising technique for improving the yield and quality of strawberry plants.

Here is a table summarizing the results of the study:

ParameterNormal Irrigation WaterMTIW Irrigation Water
Number of flowers100125.6
Number of fruits5062.8
Fruit yield (kg/100 plants)2.53.75
Percentage of export production70%85%
Fruit sizeMediumLarge
Water use efficiency1.01.25


The study was conducted over two crop seasons (2012 and 2014) and the results were consistent for both seasons. The study was also conducted under field conditions, which makes the results more relevant to commercial growers.

The study provides strong evidence that MTIW irrigation can be used to improve the yield and quality of strawberry plants. MTIW irrigation is a simple and cost-effective way to improve the production of strawberries, and it is a technique that should be considered by commercial growers.

This sounds right, would a magnet in every pot work? I can see putting a magnet into my cistern for sure. Just not sure this is 'charging' enough. Also read some of this in 2019 and bought some magnets. How much difference does it make one wonders. Thanks Obso for posting this up.

The underlying premise is that specific frequencies and intensities of EMFs can stimulate root growth through mechanisms such as ion channel activation in plant cell membranes, affecting cell division and elongation.

This article delves into the current understanding of EMF-related effects on root growth, evaluates the research landscape, and discusses the implications for vertical farming and future research directions. Within the field of plant biology, the influence of electromagnetic fields (EMFs) on root growth has emerge
 
Exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) has been discovered to trigger a stress response in plants, activating a series of protective mechanisms that can indirectly affect their growth and development. One important aspect of this response is the modulation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and antioxidant enzymes, which showcases the intricate interplay between EMFs and various physiological processes within plants.

When plants are exposed to EMFs, they can experience an increase in ROS production. ROS are highly reactive molecules that, if not properly regulated, can cause damage to cellular components. However, plants have evolved sophisticated defense mechanisms to counteract the harmful effects of ROS. In response to EMF exposure, plants activate antioxidant enzymes such as catalase, superoxide dismutase, and peroxidase. These enzymes work together to neutralize ROS and maintain cellular balance, ensuring that the plants remain healthy and productive.
 
We talked about this at the freak farm and thought it had a lot of potential. Keep 'em coming these are good ideas.
