The effect of electric field on the germination and growth of Medicago sativa planet, as a native Iranian alfalfa seed

Abstract

Access the top agricultural Products that can tolerate different climatic conditions, is part of the new science goals of agriculture. Therefore, the new sciences fields such as electric in agricultural can be usefor productivity of any products. In this regard, this study examines has been the impact of electric and magnetic fields on the growth of alfalfa seeds. In this experiment, were tested four voltage V₁=1, V₂=3, V₃=5 and V₄= 7 as a major factor in both h₁=2.5 and h₂=5 control sample. All calculation analysis by the software of SPSS and means having characteristics were compared that with probability 1% by Duncan test.

The results showed that the maximum germination is owned treatment of V₄h₁ and V₃h₂. The highest and lowest root is in V₄h₁ and control groups, respectively. The electric field effectively impact on root length and most effective treatment was V₄h₁. The highest fresh weight of plant obtained in at V₇ and 2/5 hours. The highest and lowest plant dry weight, respectively, is owned to the v₄h₁ treatment and control group.

The highest and lowest germination rate is owned to treatment of V₄h₁ and V₂h₁, respectively. The most seed vigor is owned to treatments of V₇ and 2/5 hours. The results of this paper showed electric field has had significant impact of growth characteristics and seed alfalfa. And with the treatments can be achieved to the Seeds suited to the climate zone.
