- Intervention effect Static magnetic field seed pre-treatment significantly increased biomass accumulation of soybean compared with untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect Static magnetic field seed pre-treatment significantly increased photosynthetic performance of soybean compared with untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect Plants from magnetically treated seeds gave a higher fluorescence yield at the J-I-P phase of the OJIP transient.
- Intervention effect Nitrate reductase activity, PIABS and photosynthetic pigments were higher in soybean plants from SMF pre-treated seeds than in those from untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect The net rate of photosynthesis was higher in soybean plants from SMF pre-treated seeds than in those from untreated seeds.
- Intervention effect Static magnetic field seed pre-treatment increased leghemoglobin and hemechrome content in soybean root nodules.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing exposure of soybean seeds to SMF enhanced carbon and nitrogen metabolism.
- Intervention effect Pre-sowing exposure of soybean seeds to SMF improved the number of pods, number of seeds and seed weight under saline and non-saline conditions.
