Abstract

Magneto-priming is emerging as a promising pre-sowing treatment to enhance plant resilience and quality in sustainable agricultural systems. This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different magnetic field (MF) intensities (0, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9, and 1.1 Tesla) applied for 10 minutes on Hungarian vetch (Vicia pannonica Crantz) seeds and their subsequent impact on seedling physiology, antioxidant defense, and forage quality Results demonstrated that 0.9 T and 1.1 T significantly enhanced chlorophyll retention, reduced oxidative stress markers (MDA and proline), and elevated enzymatic antioxidant activity, particularly SOD, CAT, and APX. The 1.1 T treatment also increased carotenoid levels and improved crude protein and calcium contents, indicating a positive influence on forage quality. PCA and heat map analysis revealed distinct clustering of treatments, with 1.1 T showing the most favorable profile in terms of plant defense and nutritional traits. While lower MF intensities (0 and 0.5 T) were associated with stress and phenolic defense responses, moderate to high intensities promoted balanced growth and biochemical homeostasis. Overall, the findings indicate that MF treatments, especially at 1.1 T, can effectively improve physiological performance, reduce oxidative stress, and enhance forage quality in Hungarian vetch seedlings. These results underline the potential of magneto-priming as a sustainable and non-chemical approach to boost legume performance under both optimal and stress conditions.

Özet

Magneto-priming, sürdürülebilir tarım sistemlerinde bitki dayanıklılığını ve kaliteyi artırmaya yönelik umut verici bir tohum ön işlem yöntemi olarak öne çıkmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, farklı manyetik alan (MF) şiddetlerinin (0, 0.5, 0.7, 0.9 ve 1.1 Tesla) Macar fiği (Vicia pannonica Crantz) tohumlarına 10 dakika süreyle uygulanmasının, fidelerin fizyolojisi, antioksidan savunma sistemi ve yem kalitesi üzerindeki etkileri değerlendirilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, 0.9 T ve 1.1 T uygulamaları, klorofilin korunmasını önemli ölçüde artırmış, oksidatif stres göstergeleri olan MDA ve prolin düzeylerini azaltmış ve özellikle SOD, CAT ve APX olmak üzere enzimatik antioksidan aktiviteleri yükseltmiştir. Ayrıca, 1.1 T uygulaması karotenoid içeriğini artırmış, ham protein ve kalsiyum düzeylerini iyileştirerek yem kalitesi üzerinde olumlu etkiler göstermiştir. PCA ve heat map analizleri, uygulamaların farklı kümelenmeler gösterdiğini ortaya koymuş; özellikle 1.1 T, bitkisel savunma ve besin özellikleri açısından en olumlu profili sunmuştur. Daha düşük MF şiddetleri (0 ve 0.5 T) stres ve fenolik savunma tepkileriyle ilişkilendirilirken, orta ve yüksek şiddetteki uygulamalar dengeli büyümeyi ve biyokimyasal homeostazı teşvik etmiştir. Genel olarak, elde edilen bulgular MF uygulamalarının, özellikle 1.1 T’de, Macar fiği fidelerinde fizyolojik performansı iyileştirme, oksidatif stresi azaltma ve yem kalitesini artırma açısından etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu sonuçlar, magneto-priming’in hem optimum hem de stresli koşullar altında baklagil performansını artırmak için sürdürülebilir ve kimyasal içermeyen bir yaklaşım olarak potansiyelini vurgulamaktadır.
