Investigation of the Effects of Radio Frequency Water Treatment on Some Characteristics of Growth in Pepper (Capsicum annuum) Plant


" Exposure of plants to electromagnetic radiation indirectly through water is of particular interest due to the importance of water to living systems, particularly plants which are sessile. Previous studies demonstrated that water has unique electromagnetic and biophysical properties [53] [54]. Water plays an important role in determining the response of biological objects to electromagnetic radiation. Indeed, water is considered the primary medium in which biochemical reactions occur [55]. So it is supposed that the exposure to electromagnetic radiation may alter cellular metabolism using body’s water as a primary receptor of the electromagnetic radiation [56] [57]." {Credits 1}

" The overall results showed changes of growth characters of plant watered with electromagnetic water. The length of pepper plants is significantly affected by the treated water, where the length of shoot was lower in plants grown under the effect of treated water (22.43 ± 7.17 cm) than those grown without treated water (28.11 ± 8.57 cm). The results revealed that the stem diameter of control plants (1.74 ± 0.39 cm) was significantly higher than that of the treated plants (1.66 ± 0.35 cm). In addition, the root length was lower in plants grown under the effect of treated water than those grown without treated water. Pepper plants watered with electromagnetic treated water exhibited marked decreases in health index, fresh and dry weight, relative water content, number of flowers and fruits/plant as well as number of seeds/fruit. In addition, the current experiment showed a significant decrease in the number of leaves, branch and flower per plant when watered with electromagnetic treated water. The results revealed that the first flowering time for plants in treated group was remarkably decelerated when compared to other plants in control group." {Credits 1}
