Analysis of Differences Electric Field Exposure Value in Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) Seeds on The Length of The Produced Plant

Abstract

The effect of an electric field on plant roots can affect plant growth and development, plants growing in an electric field cause cell and tissue polarization and can affect plant root growth. This study aims to determine the effect of the electric field on the length of the bean plant. In this study, the electric field application used for field treatment was 0.5 kV/m, 1 kV/m, 1.5 kV/m, and 2 kV/m for 60 minutes. The results obtained from this study indicate that the electric field can accelerate the growth of bean plant length. The most suitable electric field to accelerate germination growth is an electric field of 1 kV/m.
