Abstract

Effects of tourmaline on germination and growth rate were studied for white radish sprout. We used ordinary distilled water and the tourmaline-treated distilled water, which were treated for one hour or one week, respectively. The tourmaline enhanced germination frequency and growth rate. An optimal time of tourmaline-treatment was one hour.
