Abstract:

Researchers have focused a great deal of emphasis on magnetic field treatment since it is an effective and clean technology with promising applications in agricultural and horticultural improvement. Relevant investigations indicate that the goal of major studies is to apply magnetic field (MF) intervention to enhance the financial attributes of both agriculture and horticulture. For instance, MF improves agricultural output and quality, germination of seeds, seedling development, and cultivation stress endurance. Recently, experts have concentrated on employing magnetized water irrigation to improve plant tolerance to stress from heavy metals. This strategy seeks to improve soil health by allowing plants to acquire heavy metals. The most widely used MF treatment techniques have been thoroughly explained in this review, along with the results of MF intervention on agricultural and horticultural crop varieties. Additionally, fresh opportunities for treating MF and its underlying molecular foundation have been revealed. Currently, there is a barrier to promoting the use of MF therapy in commercial settings due to the varying optimal dose needs for distinct species. Conducting an extensive amount of screening studies and more detailed investigation on the impact of MF upon crops is crucial for the successful deployment of MF therapies.
