The objective of the present study investigated on the effects Satureia hortensis L seeds exposure to magnetic fields on seed germination, early growth and enzyme activity, under laboratory conditions Satureia hortensis seeds (dry and wet) were studied after treating with different intensities of magnetic field (0, 25, 50 and 75 mT) and exposure time (0, 30 and 60 min). There were significant effects among treatments for germination percentage, root length, shoot length, seedling dry mass and seedling vigor index in Satureia hortensis seeds under different magnetic intensity. In the germinating seeds enzyme activities of α-amylase, dehydrogenase and protease were significantly higher in treated seeds in contrast to control.
