It is known that salinity is one of the most important abiotic stress factors reducing productivity in agriculture. High salt
concentration has a negative effect on seed germination and seedling formation. Magnetic field treatment can be
considered as an environmentally friendly, innovative and inexpensive method to increase tolerance to stress, as a
productivity-enhancing factor in agriculture. In this study, germination rate, germination strength, shoot and root length,
fresh and dry weights, chlorophyll a, b and total chlorophyll content and ion leakage values of three different barley
varieties under the influence of 150 mT constant magnetic field at different time intervals were determined. In light of the
results, it was determined that although it varies according to the barley varieties, it has a significant positive effect on the
germination rate and strength depending on the duration of the applied magnetic field. This study revealed that the
magnetic field seed treatment has different effects according to the treatment time and the severity of the salt stress.
