Overcoming Low Germination and Low Quality of Flax Seeds (<i>Linum usitatissimum</i> L.) in Unfavorable Storage Using Static Magnetic Fields

Overcoming Low Germination and Low Quality of Flax Seeds (<i>Linum usitatissimum</i> L.) in Unfavorable Storage Using Static Magnetic Fields

Flax seeds stored in unfavorable conditions were exposed to static magnetic fields (SMFs) of 50–350 mT for 20–120 min to overcome low germination and quality. Seed germination increased slightly with increasing strength of SMF and duration of treatment. Seed germination from 89% to 100% was achieved...
