Abstract

The effect of water treated with a static magnetic field (SMF) between 20 and 200 mTon the photosynthetic pigments and carbohydrates of Solanum lycopersicum L. var. HA-574. A completely randomized design was used in GREMAG irrigation technology. One group of plants was irrigated with water treated with SMF (20-80 mT), another group with SMF (100-200 mT), and the control with tap water. Photosynthetic pigments were determined in leaves and carbohydrate content in fruits. Statistical analysis was performed with the Tuckey test. Plants grown with water treated with SMF (100-200 mT) had the highest content of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, total chlorophylls and carbohydrates. High photosynthetic activity and better adaptation to cultivation conditions were achieved under the benefits of SMF treatment in irrigation water.
