Growth of radish (Raphanus sativus) seedlings in magnetic fields
- 1 Experimental Oncology Laboratory California College of Medicine, University of California, Los Angeles
Radish seedlings were grown in asymmetric magnetic fields. The number of seeds germinated and the dry weight of the plants were the two criteria by which possible effects were examined. Two experiments were done; in the first the plants were grown for an average of 7.7 days and in the second for 14.1 days. A statistical analysis of the results failed to reveal any significant difference between control plants grown in dummy magnets and those subjected to the magnetic influence.
