Abstract

The article presents the results of scientific research on the use of magnetic technologies for water magnetization and their use in agriculture. On the beneficial effects of magnetic water on the rate of plant growth, the construction of the root system, and the potential for strong plants in the future. The research results proved that soaking seeds and watering with magnetized water lead to an increase in crop yields with a simultaneous decrease in the specific water consumption for irrigation by 1.5-2.0 times. The article also shows the results of field studies conducted at the site where the drip method of irrigation of cotton has been introduced using water for irrigation that has passed through a magnetic device. The magnetic apparatus used to magnetize the water in the experimental area is described, along with its design and working principal. Field research was done on meadow - serozem soils in the Kuyichirchik area of the Tashkent region to examine the impact of magnetic water on the growth, development, and increase in yield of cotton while conserving irrigation water. The outcomes show a favorable impact on the growth, development, and increase in cotton output. At the same time, water savings amounted to 10-20 percentage compared to irrigation with ordinary water.
