Tóm tắt

Soybean (Glycine max L.) is vulnerable to cold stress during germination and early vegetative growth, leading to poor establishment and reduced productivity. This study examined the potential of static magnetic field (MF) treatment to enhance cold tolerance in the Vietnamese soybean variety DT84. Seeds were exposed to a static MF before sowing and evaluated under both optimal and low-temperature conditions. Results showed that MF treatment improved germination dynamics, reduced abnormal seedlings, and enhanced seedling vigor under cold stress. During vegetative development, MF-treated plants exhibited greater emergence, improved hypocotyl elongation, larger leaf area, increased plant height, stronger root systems, higher biomass accumulation, and greater chlorophyll content compared with untreated controls. Although the treatment did not fully restore growth to the level observed at optimal temperature, it consistently alleviated the inhibitory effects of cold stress and narrowed the performance gap across developmental stages. These findings indicate that MF treatment is a simple, low-cost, and environmentally sustainable approach to improve soybean establishment under cold conditions and holds promise as a practical strategy for enhancing crop resilience in early-season sowing.
