Chlorophyll content in plant leaves is correlated with the yield and nitrogen content in plants.
Non-destructive investigations of chlorophyll content in leaves of 3 varieties of sugar beet grown
from seeds revealed that a low frequent magnetic field, acting independently or in combination with
other methods of seed improvement, increased chlorophyll content in leaves of the investigated plants.
The treatment with the magnetic field increased nitrogen content in the examined plants. The effect was
not connected with environmental conditions during vegetation seasons.
