Effect Of Magnetic Treatment On Seed Germination Of Mung Bean (Vigna Radiata)
Main Article Content
Abstract
The effect of stationary magnetic field on seed germination of Mung bean (Vigna radiata) seeds was examined under Normal Laboratory Conditions (NLC). Mung (Vigna radiata) seeds were exposed to magnetic field of strength 1.5 mT for time duration of 15 minute, 20 minute and 25 minute. Under normal laboratory conditions, seed germination rate, root length and stem length were monitored and measured. The results revealed that Mung Bean (Vigna radiata) seed with magnetic treatment shows noticeable change for germination rate, root length, and stem length compared to NLC. The magnetic field exposure of 1.5 mT for 25 minute resulted in a greater germination rate than the NLC. It was observed that the root and stem lengths were increased. Remarkable changes were observed in protein analysis for magnetically treated seeds compared to NLC seeds
