Abstract
Experiments on summer cultivation of cucumbers in a magnetic field were conducted to determine the optimum growth conditions using the well-known effects of magnetic fields on germination and growth of vegetables. Seed processing at 5 Oe for 72 hours had remarkable effects. Most of the seeds germinated in 30 hours. However, no appreciable difference was observed between seeds processed at 150 Oe for one hour, and seeds not processed in a magnetic field. Overall, cultivation in a magnetic field after processing in a low magnetic field for a long time provides the most favorable growth conditions.
