abstract The effect of magnetic field on germination and yields of spring wheat is presented. In the performed experiment two magnetic doses: D11=D13= 12.9 and D21=D23=17.9 kJ m-3 s were applied. The germination kinetic and yield of wheat depended on both magnetic field exposure doses. In both cases the better germination of seeds as compared to control seeds was observed. The yield of wheat for the exposure doses D11=D13 was 12.5% higher and for doses D21=D23 was 14.5% higher than obtained for the control.
