Abstract:

A pot experiment was conducted at Faculty of Education, Alzaiem Alazhari University, Khartoum, Sudan to evaluate the effect of magnetized water and magnetized seeds on the rocket plant (Eruca sativa L.). The results showed a significant difference in germination, shoot length, leaf area, shoot and root fresh and dry weight, chlorophyll content, and some chemical elements (Ca, Mg, K, P, Fe). The results indicated some differences in soil characterization after rocket plant harvest.

Keywords:

Magnetized water, germination, soil elements, yield component
