Magnetic fields: influence of their properties in the agricultural production process

Abstract

The current efforts to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals to combat and eradicate hunger have led different specialized sectors of society to launch into the search for paths that lead to it. In this sense, the research, development, and innovation (R + D + i) approach has generated various optimized methods to obtain the greatest possible benefits, through important contributions. The objective of this document is to show the advances made in the application of magnetic fields as a tool to improve the productivity of different crops. Considering the main treatment methods, characteristics of the application, and the explanation of the possible effects caused in plant entities. An attempt has been made to use scientific articles from different databases, but with important levels of reliability, measured through the impact indices involved. As a tool to know the current situation of this issue, the review of documents published, preferably, during the last decade was focused, with few exceptions, based mainly on specialized conceptualizations.
