- Abstract
The human population has a constant growth which creates a great demand for volumes of quality food free of chemical fertilizers, then it is of vital importance to optimize the production processes. Magnetism was chosen as a source of radiation to stimulate the growth of beet seeds. This vegetable was chosen because in studies carried out it was detected that beets are an important source of vitamins and minerals, especially for sports of high physical effort such as cycling. To carry out this study we have coils capable of generating 10mT, 20mT and 30mT. The seeds were exposed for 1min, 10min, 30min, following an experimental design. The seeds were sown and monitored recording the data of both irradiated and control seeds. The data obtained were organized for the respective statistical analysis and to obtain a proposal of a mathematical model that represents the experiment. A benefit in plant growth of up to 2.5 cm was obtained using 30 mT radiation with respect to the control group seeds.
