abstract:
The research was conducted at the Institute of Soil Science and Plant Cultivation - National Research Institute in Puławy. The first order factor was moisture of subsoil: 30, 50 and 70% of field water capacity (FWC), and the second order factor - magnetic field doses: D0 - without stimulation (control), D1 - 10 750 J m(-3) s and D2 - 85 987 J m(-3) s. Pre-sowing magnetic stimulation of seeds improved the faba bean emergence. At conditions of water deficit this effect was greater than at optimal moisture. Soil moisture and seed magnetic stimulation modified the values of some morphological features of plants. Experimental factors included in the research significantly affected the yield and size of some features of its structure. The greatest mass of seeds was obtained from plants grown from seeds stimulated with magnetic field and growing at the highest soil moisture conditions, and the lowest - from plants grown from control seeds and growing on the driest soil. Both used exposure doses of magnetic field favourably affected the growth, development and yielding of faba bean.
