Evaluación de las cargas electromagnéticas en el proceso germinativo de dos especies (Zea mays y Phaseolus vulgaris)
(2025-02) Sanchez Guaman Andrew Ariel; Zurita Vásquez José Hernán
The objective of the research carried out was to demonstrate the influence of electromagnetic waves on the germination process of corn (Zea mays) and beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). Determining whether subjecting the seeds to an electromagnetic field of 400 mT with different exposure times intervenes in morphological variables. The research was carried out in the province of Tungurahua, Ambato canton, in the Ingahurco sector, with an altitude of 2585 meters above sea level. Healthy seeds of both species were selected and subjected to 400 mT at three different times: 15, 30, and 45 minutes. The electromagnetic stimulation was carried out for 5 consecutive days, then the seeds had an imbibition process for 24 hours to finally sow them in plastic containers with substrate. After 30 days from sowing, the plants were extracted to compare with the control and establish differences. The variables measured are germination percentage, root length, number of leaves, root volume and plant height. The results obtained demonstrated positive effects in the bean for root length with an average of 18.30 cm compared to the control that has an average of 12.10 cm and in the root volume with an average of 1.87 cm3, while the control had a average of 1.10 cm3. In corn, despite differences between the treatments and the control, the results did not have a statistically demonstrative effect. These results suggest that electromagnetic stimulation in the germination process can influence root development depending on the species and exposure time.
