This study aims to understand the effect of magnetic field on water properties and plants growth performance. Magnetic water is produced when water is passed through a magnetic field which alters the state of water macromolecules. The changes to physico-chemical properties of magnetized water affect the biological properties of organisms. This experiment was conducted at a greenhouse in the Institute Sustainable Agrotechnology (INSAT) experimental farm, Universiti Malaysia Perlis, Padang Besar, Perlis, Malaysia. It carried out according to Randomize Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four replications. The magnetic field was applied on water to evaluate through three different intensities; 0.10, 0.15, and 0.20 Tesla, in addition to control treatment (without magnetic) for seedling growth of pumpkin (CV. Labu Loceng) and okra (CV. Bendi Alabama). The morphological study of water and study of seedling height, stem diameter, leaf numbers, seedling weight and dry weight of seedling are researched. The magnetic water at 0.20 Tesla had significantly increases in the leaf number per seedling 6.000 leaf seedling-1 and dry seedling weight 0.5700 g of pumpkin. Meanwhile, the magnetic water at 0.20 Tesla increased significantly in seedling height, stem diameter, leaf number per seedling, seedling weight and dry seedling weight of okra reached to 13.750 cm, 2.677 mm, 5.500 leaf seedling-1, 1.7800 g and 0.3369 g, respectively compared to control.

The study carried out to evaluate some of the physical and chemical properties of the ground water samples from west of Alshirqat district, Salaheddin province, IRAQ. Six wells selected, sample of water collected every month for 6 months (October,2021 – March 2022). In each sample electric conductivity (EC), pH, total dissolved solid (TDS), dissolved oxygen (DO), biological oxygen demand (BOD), total hardness (TH), calcium hardness (Ca H), magnesium hardness (Mg H), sodium (Na), potassium (K), chloride (Cl), and sulphate (SO4), were measured monthly. The results of ground water samples range of EC is (1308-6030) µ siemens, pH is (6.99- 7.95),TDS is (947-2670 mg./l), DO is (4- 6.7mg/l), BOD is (0.4-2.6 mg/l), TH is (500- 3200 mg/l ), CaH is (300- 2000 mg/l) , Mg H is (20 -1800 mg/l), Na is (50- 2100 mg/l), K is (0.1- 7.2 mg/l), CL is (133.12- 2485mg/l), SO4 is (12.71-375.6 mg/l ) subsequently. The ground water in west of Alshirqat, Salaheddin, Iraq, contain very high level of total dissolved solid, total hardness, calcium hardness, magnesium hardness, sodium, chloride, and sulphate. The ground water is unsuitable to human consumption and domestic uses, for animal uses, irrigation except plant resistant to salinity, and many industries.
