Effect of Irrigation with Activated Water on Root Morphology of Hydroponic Rice and Wheat Seedlings

Raising yields and agricultural production efficiency is the primary goal of realizing modern agriculture. As a low-cost environmentally friendly technology, activated water has potential to increase crop improve fertilizer use efficiency, but much research still needed make this technology widely available in field. Hydroponic experiments were conducted investigate effects magnetized water, aerated on rice wheat seedling root growth. The results showed that irrigation significantly increased plant height by 5.1–9.6%, leaf area 21.1%, aboveground biomass 14.8–16.3%, respectively. Aerated also promoted biomass, maximum length, total surface area, especially proportion roots less than 0.5 mm diameter, indicating enhances growth seedlings mainly promoting growth, fine (D ≤ mm) length volume under treatment 7.7–8.6% 17.2%, respectively, resulting significant dry 13.6%. Magnetized roots. In contrast, exhibited an inhibitory effect Therefore, different crops hydroponics, more future determine conditions for application
