The present work relates to development of device for treatment of water by exposing it to magnetic field and its effect on quality and yield of banana plants. Valid scientific experiments on treatment of irrigation water using magnetic device have proved that water activated using specific arrangement of magnets and their housing helps in agriculture for improvement of germination, plant growth, flowers, fruit and crop yield. This also prevents from forming white salty deposits near the plant. A well structured research was conducted on five hector banana farm using ‘Sadahara 207’ magnetic water treatment device. The area was divided in to two plots and tests were conducted. It was observed that, the average yield per plant in magnetically treated plot was 19 kg compare to its counterpart conventional plot was 15 kg. Hence, the total difference in yield between two plots for 10000 plants was 40 Tons, which was 26.67 % more than the conventional plot. The experiments have also shown that there was dramatic difference in other parameters like quality and general appearance also.
