Influence of the Electromagnetic Device Aqua 4D on Water Quality and Germination of Lettuce (Lactuca sativa L.)

Abstract

Magnetic water technology has been widely studied and adopted in the field of agriculture in many countries (Europe, Russia, China, etc….), but in Morocco, the information available on the application of water loving in the agricultural sector is very limited. In order to show the effect of this technique on plant production under Moroccan conditions, an experiment was conducted in a culture chamber in the laboratory to study the response of the germination of lettuce to irrigate with magnetic and tap water under laboratory condition. The analysis of the results shows a persistent and highly significant improvement through an increase in the germination rate of the order of 45.83% and 55.5 %for treatment with magnetized water treated under the effect of the electromagnetic field Aqua 4D generated by the device for 80 min with renewal of magnetized water germination each 24h and 12 h relative to the control.
