Abstract

This research aims to explore the effects of magnetized waters on spinach matador (Spinacia oleracea L) growth and soil characteristics. Under the pot experiment, two levels of salinity were applied; 0.2 (tap water) and 2.2 g/L (tap water + NaCl). The irrigation waters were treated thanks to a magnetic treatment device of 13.5 mT. The relative growth rate (RGR) was enhanced in response to irrigation with magnetized water reaching 6.9% and 28.8% higher than the control of 0.2 g/L and 2.2 g/L salinity levels, respectively. As for soil characteristics after the harvest, the irrigation with magnetized waters reduced pH but increased EC and moisture compared to control. All major elements concentrations (Ca, Na, Mg, K, Cl…) showed a higher concentration in pots irrigated with magnetically treated waters compared to soil at T0. The magnetic treatment boosted the substitution of calcium with sodium in the soil for salty water of 2.2 g/L.
