This laboratory study examined whether extremely low frequency EMF exposure affects wheat seed germination and early seedling development. Seeds exposed to 10 Hz, 7.5 mT EMF (5 h over 3 days) reportedly germinated earlier and showed higher biomass than untreated controls. The abstract also reports increased total…

This study evaluated a short (1 min) electromagnetic field (EMF) seed treatment in seven half-sib families of silver birch and assessed emergence, growth, and leaf biochemical profiles in one- and two-year-old seedlings. The abstract reports genotype- and age-dependent responses, with some families showing…

This laboratory study examined pulsed magnetic field (PMF) pretreatment of soybean seeds (1500 nT) at 0.1–100 Hz for 5 hours/day over 20 days. The abstract reports increased germination rates for all PMF treatments, with 10 and 100 Hz showing the strongest responses, and improvements in several seedling growth and…
