<![CDATA[This research was aimed to know the effect of magnetic field strenght and duration of Immersion on Germination of ExpiredRice (Oryza sativa L.) Seed of Ciherang Variety. This research used a Randomized Complete Design with two factors. The first factor was magnetic field strenght (M) consisting of four levels, namely: M0 (0 mT), M1 (15 mT), M2 (20 mT) and M3 (25 mT). The second factor was duration immersion in magnetized water (T), which consists of three levels, namely: T1 (12 hours), T2 (24 hours) and T3 (36 hours). The combination treatment was repeated three times, so there was 36 experimental units. Observed variables were germination age (days), the maximum growth potential (%), growth rate (%/day), normal germination percentage (%) and abnormal germination percentage (%). The result showed that magnetic field strenght and magnetized water is not able to improved for all observed variables were germination age (days), maximum growth potential (%), growth rate (%/day), normal germination percentage (%) and abnormal germination percentage (%). There was an interaction between the magnetic field strenght and duration of immersion time. The interaction magnetic field strenght of 0 mT and 15 mT with 12 hours and 20 mT with 24 hours immersion. Improved the growth rate and normal germination percentage by 0,95 %/day and 13,33% consecutively.]]>
