Magnetic field effects on plants and fungi - Applicative research

	The experiments with cress seedlings and magnetic fields that produced consistent and repeatable results enable us to develop a useful biological sensor system (details see here) for detecting various electromagnetic, even very weak, sources from environment or artificial devices. We successfully tested the protective effects of special blankets produced by various companies. A successful shielding effect of the tested product against the environmental electromagnetic fields usually resulted in lowering the heat stress effect on plants (see also our research on bioelectromagnetics and inbionics)

 

Our older research with spruce seeds were also directed to     some applicative experiments and spruce seeds used as our preliminary biological sensor system. We tested the effects of different fields emitted from VDUs in our normal environment, i.e. TV sets or computer monitors. From the results we advised how to achieve a more efficient protection from the VDU's electromagnetic radiation. (Jerman et al. 1996, 1998, Ruzic et al 1994). We also tested biological response to special protective blankets, chairs, shirts and other equipment against environmental electromagnetic fields.
