Abstract. The therapy with magnetic fields evolved a few years ago to a constant practice in modern recovery medicine. The goal of our study was to determinate if the same types of magnetic fields used in medicine have the potential to increase metabolic rate in germinating plant seeds. The machine used for this study was a Vita-life eMRS computer controlled device with a versatile programming system. Pulsed variable magnetic fields, if correctly administered, have a very high stimulating effect on cell multiplication, growing and development. Also, the growing of mould was stimulated. The stimulation of mould growing and acceleration of plant development may be used for industrial purposes, production of pharmaceutics and agriculture.
