The magnetic water equipment is in the foreground Plants that are irrigated with water treated by magnetic technology can easily take in mineral salts from the soil and no sediment is formed on the soil surface, Sekar James, Managing Director, Master Plan Group of Companies, Chennai, said here on Sunday. The equipment and its boosters should be fitted at a distance of 500 ft on the main pipeline to maintain the magnetic function.
Speaking in an interactive session on “Use of Magnetic Water (GMX) and Rain Drops in Agriculture”, he explained the function of the equipment that transformed hard water into soft water through the process of magnetisation. “When the equipment is fitted on a pipeline, the water flowing through the pipeline is subjected to intense, focussed magnetic field. This affects the physical structure of minerals. They continue to remain in water, but the altered physical state prevents minerals from exhibiting hardness,” Mr. James said.
He said that the deficit of micro-elements and nutrients in the soil was the main reason for a decreased growth rate and low crop. Magnetic water rectified this problem and increased the ability of the soil to better assimilate nutrients and fertilizers during the vegetation period.
“In addition, when the plant is watered using hard water, a white coating or segmentation (Calcium bicarbonate of carbonate) is formed on the surface of the soil. These deposits penetrate into the soil and suffocate the plant. However, plants using magnetically treated water not only take in minerals, but also do not form sediments,” he said.
The equipment and its boosters should be fitted at a distance of 500 ft on the main pipeline to maintain the magnetic function. The company also claimed that “such a mechanism can be used for animal husbandry. Animals that drink the magnetically treated water have been observed to give more yield in terms of milk.”
The company, in addition to water treating equipment also promoted a powder-type polymer, which if used in combination with magnetic water was said to produce good results in terms of productivity. The function of the polymer was one of water retention. “It should be mixed with mud and filled into holes that are one to one-and-a-half ft deep. The holes are dug adjacent to the planting area. The polymer helps hold the excess water that is used for irrigation,” Mr. James said.
The company had conducted trials in the fields of fruits and vegetables in neighbouring areas like Palladam, where the fields were being irrigated by hard water. The results were seen between 30 and 45 days.
