- Abstract
The Extremely Low Frequency (ELF) magnetic field has an ability to penetrate almost all materials and is non-ionizing radiation so that it can trigger cell proliferation. This study aims to examine the effect of exposure to the 200–300 µT ELF magnetic fields on the growth rate of Edamame plants. This study is included in a laboratory experiment with a completely randomized design research. The sample of this study was 250 Edamame seeds consisting of 50 seeds as the control group and 200 seeds equally divided in four groups (50 seeds for each) exposed to the 200 µT and 300 µT ELF magnetic fields for 60 min and 120 min. Indicators of growth rate consisted of the height, number of leaves, and wet mass. The data analysis using One-Way Anova proved that the group exposed to the 300 µT ELF magnetic field for 120 min was significantly (p < 0.05) higher than that of the control group and other groups on the indicators of height of plants, number of leaves, and wet mass. This study concludes that an exposure to the 300 µT ELF magnetic field for 120 min has a significant effect on the growth rate of Edamame plants.
