Abstract

In this study, 150 seeds from each of three soybean
varieties (30 seeds for each application) have been passed through  3,8-4,8 mT magnetic flux density of the magnetic field
0, 1, 3, 9 and 15 times at a magnetic
height of  0,055 m in order to determine
the most suitable magnetic field strength for Defiance,
General and Iraquous soybean varieties. Three different soybean seed varieties passed
through magnetic field were germinated in petri dishes at 25°C
on moist filter papers. The root lengths and germination
percentages of the varieties were measured by making observations at the end of
24^th, 48^th, 72^nd and 96^th hours to
determine the most suitable magnetic field strength. As a result, an increase
was detected in the germination percentage and root length of D₁(Defiance;
1 times pass through magnetic field)and D₉(Defiance;9 times pass
through magnetic field ) applications of the Defiance at the end of the 72^nd
and 96^th hours compared to the control(D₀,G₀,I₀), and also an increase
was observed in the G₁(General; 1 times pass through magnetic field)
and G₉(General; 9 times pass through magnetic field) applications of
the General; whereas an increase was observed only in the germination
percentage in the I₃(Iraquous; 3 times pass through magnetic field) and
I₉ (Iraquous; 9 times pass through magnetic field) applications of
Iraquous. No increase was detected for the root length in the I₃ at
the end of the 96^th hours.
