Abstract :
Background and Objective: In recent years, positive effects of magnetized water treatment have been shown on
growth processes and the development of plant tissues through a change in the soil content. The objective of the
current study is to review the effects of magnetized water on the quality of soil.
Method: The databases of Scopus (1980-2016), EMBASE (1980-2016), Web of Sciences (1980-2016), and Google
Scholar (1980-2016) were searched to find the published studies with the keywords of "magnetic treatment" OR
"magnetized water", AND "irrigation water" AND "soil" AND "effect". The obtained titles were reviewed and the
relevant studies were selected for comprehensive review of the current literature.
Results: Magnetic water technologies used in agriculture can improve the quality and quantity of products. The
current evidence shows that magnetic treated irrigation water changes soil and harvest content through increasing
the level of specific minerals including N, K, Ca, Mg, Fe, Mn, Na, and Zn and reducing S content.
Conclusion: Although using magnetic water is agriculture is in early stage, studies have shown relatively promising
outcomes and to reach established technology further controlled studies are needed. Studies to shed more light on
the mechanisms of action of the observed effects are important in this regard.
