Abstract：

This　study　aims　to　assess　extremely　low　frequency　electromagnetic　field　(ELF-EMF),　which　is　similar　to　Schumann　resonance　(SR)　frequency.　Schumann　resonance　frequency　which　is　part　of　the　geomagnetic　field　frequency,　affects　to　mung　beans　to　increase　germination　rate　and　early　growth.　The　aim　of　the　study　is　to　evaluate　the　effects　of　SR　ELF-EMF　on　mung　beans　germination　rate　and　growth　rate.　SR　ELF-EMF　pretreatment　increases　the　germination　rate　since　the　applied　SR　ELF-EMF　promotes　level　of　Ca2+　and　K+contents.　Three　groups　of　mung　beans　were　exposed　by　SR　ELF-EMF　of　0.3　mT　at　swapped　frequency　7.83　Hz　pm　0.1　Hz.　The　experiment　results　show　that　germination　rates　of　experimental　groups　with　SR　ELF-EMF　exposing　have　8%　to　23.3%　higher　than　control　groups.　Moreover,　the　length　of　stem　of　the　experimental　groups　have　the　maximum　14%　longer　than　control　groups　after　72　hours　growth.　©　2018　IEEE.
