%X The current project studies the influence of the exposure rate of the magnetic field (50 mT/time) upon germination in wheat seeds. Magnetic treatment involved the application of three different exposure rates (0.5, 1, 2 h) respectively. The effect of the exposure rate on the root growth, radicle growth and protein percentage are discussed and statistical significance analysis is assessed for the differences between the average values of samples and controls. The variable magnetic field of exposure rate (50 mT/0.5h) is a very significant factor in influencing the germination process of wheat seeds. It is observed that the root length, radicle length and the protein percentage increase up to 10, 14 and 8 % respectively.
