Magnetic treatment of irrigation water: Its effects
The irrigation water of different types was treated with a magnetic device before applying to the plants. The mean values of pH, EC, N, P and K values of different irrigation water types before and after magnetic treatment are presented in Table 1.Magnetic treatment of water tends to reduce slightly the water pH, while there is no apparent trend for EC values.
Historically, magnetic water treatment (MWT) has shown promise in addressing both concerns though results have been inconsistent and somewhat controversial. This study evaluated the effect of MWT on lettuce yield, photosynthetic activity and nutrient levels under various irrigation reduction regimes.
Magnetic Treatment of Irrigation Water: Experimental
As an example, changes in natural water due to magnetic treatment in a commercially available apparatus, Magnalawn 2000, have been studied. On the basis of laboratory and field results, the type and the chemical content of natural water for which a magnetic treatment method is the most efficient have been determined.

The Impact of magnetic water treatment on salt
Furthermore, the magnetic treatment of saline irrigation water is reportedly an effective method for soil desalinization (Hilai & Hilai, 2000). Mostafazadeh-Fard, Khoshravesh, Mousavi, and Kiani (2011) investigated the effects of magnetized water and irrigation water salinity on sulfate ions of soil in a field trickle irrigation experiment
In particular, the magnetic treatment of recycled water and 3000 ppm saline water respectively increased celery yield by 12% and 23% and water productivity by 12% and 24%. For snow peas, there were 7.8%, 5.9% and 6.0% increases in pod yield with magnetically treated potable water, recycled water and 1000 ppm saline water, respectively.
Magnetic treatment of irrigation water and seeds
Similar results were obtained by Mahmood & Usman (2014), who evaluated the effect of a magnetic treatment (235 mT; flow 3 L / min) in four types of irrigation water (sewage, saline, irrigation channel and tap) on seed germination of maize (Zea mays), submerging them in the water for 24 hours. Some attributes as the rate and speed of germination

Effect of Magnetic Treatment on Surface Tension and Water
The application of a magnetic field influenced the water parameters, decreasing its surface tension by up to 24 % and increasing its volume evaporated in relation to the raw water. Statistical analysis showed that our experimental results are significant. Keywords: Magnetic device, Water Evaporation, Surface Tension, Statistical analysis.

Magnetic Water Treatment in Environmental Management: A
Magnetically structured water can remove scaling from water distribution system and also prevents new scaling. 54-57 In agriculture and farming, magnetized water for irrigation can save irrigation water. 58 In environmental managements, scale prevention/ elimination by magnetic treatment can reduce the energy consumption and air pollutions. In
materials and water is not an exception. When passing a magnetic field, irrigation water gain a magnetic moment and retain it for 24 to 48 hrs. Magnetic treatment of irrigation water depends on magnetic field intensity, composition of dissolved salts and velocity of crossing a magnetron of 0.5 inch diameter. In this
