Água eletromagnetizada no desenvolvimento da cultura do milho irrigado em ambiente protegido

Abstract

New Technologies and tools have been sough for a more conscious and susteninable use of water. Several studis indicate that the technique of electromagnetization of water by plants, promoting water savings in irrigation. Thusm the presente study aimed to evaluate the inluence of electromagnetized water on corn submitted to diferente water replacements. The experimente was caaarried out at the Monte Carmelo campus of the Federal University of Uberlândia, in a greenhouse. The experimental design used was completelly randomized (DIC) in a 2x4 factorial scheme arranged in 4 repetitions, totaling 32 experimental plots. At the end of the trial, the vegetative and reprodutive traits of the maize crop were valueted. In addition, the replenishment strategy in the order of 90% irrigation water replenishment to return moisture to field capacity maximized shoot dry mass and corn cob diameter.
