he aim of this study was to investigate the effect of salinity levels (0, 75
and 150 mM) and the duration of treatment of seeds with magnetism (non-
treatment of seeds withmagnetism, treatment of seeds withmagnetic intensity
of 20 μT for 5, 10, 15 min) on germination and growth of seedlings in English
marigold. This study was conducted under laboratory conditions based on a
completely randomized design in Depako Lab. In most traits, the interaction of
salinity levels and magnetic treatment duration was significant. In the absence
of magnetic treatment, salinity of 75 mM significantly reduced the seedling
length (43.5%), seedling dry weight (28.3%), seedling dry weight (30.4%) and
germination percentage (59.1%). In salinity of 150 mM, due to the lack of
germination of seeds of English marigold, seedling growth characteristics were
also zero, while the magnetic treatment improved germination and seedlings
growth in marigold under salinity conditions and reduced the negative effect of
salinity on these traits. However, in most of the traits, the magnetic treatment
of seeds did not have a significant effect on zero salinity. It seems that the
magnetic treatment of seeds with an effect on alpha-amylase activity improves
the transfer of seed reservoirs and improves seedlings growth in the marigold
at salinity conditions. Both salinity treatments and magnetic treatment
of seeds have a significant effect on alpha amylase activity. In general, the
magnetic treatment of seeds for 15 minutes was the best treatment to improve
germination and seedling growth of English marigold in non-stress conditions
and salinity. The results of this study showed that the use of magnetism can
reduce the effect of soil salinity on the growth and yield of plants, in addition, it
is necessary to investigate the potential of magnetism in reducing soil salinity
in the next researches.
