Effect of extremely low frequency electromagnetic field on beans germination (Vigna unguiculata L.)
The 60 Hz electromagnetic field effects during the germination process in seeds of Vigna unguiculata L. with more than one year of storage was determined. Three electromagnetic treatments (2.00; 4.00 and 6.00 mT) were performed. A local electromagnetic stimulator device (BioNaK-03) (Patent No.22602/...
