This conclusion was made by researchers at the IAP RAS. According to research co-author Nikolai Ilyin, the magnetic field helps the flora more effectively adjust its physiology to changing conditions and adapt to stressful conditions. For example, the field helps to defend itself, increasing the survival of vegetation in difficult periods for it. This phenomenon is promising for study in order to develop the agricultural industry and related production segments.
Prior to this, it was already reported that a number of organisms are affected by a magnetic field in the so-called. Schumann range, named after the German scientist V. O. Schumann. Waves of these lengths are recorded between the earth’s surface and the upper atmospheric layers.
According to the authors of the study, there is an effect of magnetic fields on a number of transitional stages, for example, when the included light radiation abruptly increases the rate of photosynthesis and the amplitude of electroreactions.
