Seed germination is the primary stage of growth in a seed. A wealth of experiments exist in literature to support the existence of correlation between seed germination to the electric and magnetic fields. This becomes more important as researchers have suggested to develop technologies to build ecologically clean and environment-friendly solutions to agricultural practices. Although the literature supports the existence of seed germination acceleration, the lack of a definite causal theory has been observed by numerous researchers over decades. After considering all the existing experimental data, we have formulated a causal theory to explain the factors influencing seed germination around high voltage DC transmission lines. This work opens new avenues of research in this field.

种子萌发是种子生长的初级阶段。文献中存在大量实验来支持种子萌发与电场和磁场之间存在相关性。随着研究人员建议开发技术来为农业实践建立生态清洁和环境友好的解决方案，这变得更加重要。尽管文献支持种子萌发加速的存在，但数十年来，许多研究人员已经观察到缺乏明确的因果理论。在考虑了所有现有的实验数据后，我们制定了一个因果理论来解释影响高压直流输电线路周围种子萌发的因素。这项工作开辟了该领域的新研究途径。
