Achieving high germination rates and healthy seedling growth is one of the ongoing challenges in maize production, especially in view of the growing need for food worldwide and the requirement for sustainable agricultural methods. Pre-sowing magnetic field treatment has emerged as a viable, safe method for enhancing seed performance. Research on maize seed response to magnetic field treatment, especially in Pakistan, remains limited. This gap highlights the importance of investigating pre-sowing magnetic field treatment as a regional approach to improve maize productivity. To address this gap, this study evaluated the effects of pre-sowing MF treatment on maize seeds with four treatments: T₁ (100 mT for 30 sec), T₂ (100 mT for 1 min), T₃ (150 mT for 30 sec), and T₄ (150 mT for 1 min), along with the control T₀. Results showed that T₂ significantly enhanced germination percentage (75% vs. 49% in control), reduced mean germination time by 40%, and increased vigor index I and II by 37.5% and 66.2%, respectively. Chlorophyll a and b increased by 30.5% and 42%, and enzyme activities such as SOD and CAT improved by 179.1% and 97.7%, respectively, along with mineral ion concentrations. Higher doses (T₃, T₄) were less effective, indicating reduced results with excessive exposure. Principal Component Analysis (PCA) further confirmed these findings, highlighting T₂ (100 mT for 1 min) as the most effective treatment. This study addresses the limited research on maize seeds and demonstrates that pre-sowing magnetic field treatment, particularly T₂, is a cost-effective, eco-friendly technique for enhancing crop productivity. These results offer a strong basis for integrating pre-sowing magnetic field treatment technology into modern farming practices and contribute to the development of sustainable solutions for improving food security in the region.
