Description The study entitled influence of magnetic energy on seed quality attributes of
cereal crops was carried out in the Department of Seed Science and Technology,
University of Agricultural Sciences, Dharwad.
All the vigour level seeds of Maize, Sorghum, Paddy, Wheat and Bajra when
exposed to the magnetic field intensity of 100 mT recorded on par values for various
seed quality parameters over control, subsequent increase in the magnetic field
intensity of 200 mT was found to be the optimum intensity to get beneficial effect
which recorded higher values for various seed quality parameters studied namely;
germination percentage, first count of germination, root and shoot length, seedling
vigour index, seedling dry weight, speed of germination, Bartlett’s germination rate
index, electric conductivity of seed leachate and field emergence and field emergence
over control, further increase in the magnetic field intensity to 300 mT recorded lesser
values for various seed quality parameters over control and this intensity nullified the
positive effect and was detrimental to seed quality.
The exposure of different vigour level seeds of Maize, Sorghum, Paddy, Wheat
and Bajra to two hours duration in all the magnetic field intensity levels for was found
to be beneficial for various seed quality parameters over control and found to be
optimum period of exposure, again further increase in duration of exposure to more
than two hours in all the magnetic field intensity levels was found to be detrimental
for various seed quality parameters over control.
The different vigour level seed when exposed of magnetic field intensity of 200
mT for two hours recorded best interaction treatment to obtain better seed quality and
the treatment combination of magnetic field intensity of less than 200 mT for varied
durations was not effective to get beneficial influence on various seed quality seed
parameters over control. The magnetic field intensity of more than 300 mT for varied
durations was detrimental on various seed quality seed parameters over control.
Therefore, the study revealed both positive and negative impact on its
beneficial and harmful effects. Hence, there is a need to standardize the effective
optimum dose of magnetic field intensity in relation to seed quality.
