Abstract

The present study discussed the germination vigour efficiency of various seeds tested and their plant growth using magnetized water produced from aqua guard domestic water purifiers, which were compared with the normal tap water. These studies were carried out by few of the universities from India such as Cochin University, Babasaheb Bhimrad Ambedkar University, Sri Venkateswara College from Delhi University and Gauhati University. The seeds of red cow pea (Vigna unguiculata), soybean (Glycine max), mung bean (Vigna radiata), corn (Zea mays), mustard (Brasssica juncea), tomato (Lycopersicum esculentum) and rice (Oryza sativa) were used. The parameters like seed germination, osmosis assay, shoot length, root length and leaf sizes were documented. The results showed clear evident that the penetration of magnetized water into various seeds had positive impact on germination vigour and the growth. The germination vigour was documented at different time intervals from 18 h to 72 h. Very interestingly, the avg. % of seed germination from each magnetized treated groups were high compared to seeds treated with normal tap water. In addition, the plant growth parameters like leaf size, shoot length, and root length were increased in treated groups compared to normal groups. The weight of the seeds was gradually increased from treated groups compared to normal groups in all the seeds. In addition, the plant growth parameters like leaf size, shoot length and root length were increased in treated groups compared to normal groups. The weight of the seeds was gradually increased from treated groups compared to normal groups in all the seeds. From the above findings, it was clear evident that the hydration of the seeds soaked in Aquaguard with biotron technology is faster than the normal water soaked seeds and also the exhibited better germination and growth in Aquaguard treated water.

Key words: Water purifiers, Biotron, Magnetized water, Seed germination, Plant growth.
