Application of Magnetic Water in Agriculture

Electromagnetic fields (EMFs) have shown great potentials in medical, industrial and environmental applications. Because of the electrical origin of the live and existence of all cells and living creatures, EMFs can interact with all living cells so that can modulate their functions. These modulations in appropriate conditions can have useful outcomes such as treatment or inducing the desire characteristics in different compounds. Water is a crucial source for life on the earth. Any living creature needs water to hydrate every cell. Long term and frequent droughts and competing water demands in most parts of the world have caused severe pressure on water resources. In addition, high costs of irrigation in the most countries are the main problem of agriculture development. Annually large quantities of water are used in agriculture. Therefore emerging of new strategies to reduce consumption of water is of significant importance. One of the new strategies is magnetic water technology. Various studies have revealed that magnetic treatment of irrigation water can improve the productivity of water. Magnetic water treatment has shown promising potential in saving water resources that will be of significant importance in near future. Magnetic water treatment has shown various potentials in environmental and agricultural applications 6, 3. Some of these applications are therapeutic effects of Magnetic water, preventing scale deposition, improving irrigation water quality and crop yield, scale elimination, soil improvement, corrosion control and wastewater treatment. In this study, application of magnetic water in agriculture it was discussed.
