Effect of Magnetic Irrigation Saline Water and Pre-Sowing of Grains Treated with Magnetic Field on Saline Soil Fertility and Wheat Productivity and Quality

Abstract

A field experiment was carried out in a privet farm in Romana village, North Sinia, governorate, Egypt, during winter of two successive years 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 to study the effect of magnetic irrigation water with different salinity levels (1000, 2000, 4000 and 6000 ppm) from four wells and pre-sowing of seeds wheat seeds at (0, 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 hr) treated with magnetic field on soil fertility and wheat productivity in newly reclaimed soil. In both seasons each experiment was carried out in a split plot design with three replicates. The results suggested that magnetized irrigation saline water and the magnetic pre-sowing grains treatment led to reduce of EC and soil pH and the increasing of availability macro-micronutrients contents in the soil Magnetic treated of both seeds and irrigation water salinity led to an increase of yield components and quality for wheat plant as well as the increase of macro-micronutrients concentrations in straw and wheat grains plant Finally, the technique of magnetic field in agricultural fields could be a promising technique for agricultural improvement but extensive research is still required to many studies in the future.
