Does an electromagnetic field have any effect on plants?
Growth of plants (Height, width of stem, size of leaves, etc.)?
Direction of growth?
Color of leaves, even?
:confused:

I would thnk that if it can effect change in a human then it can effect change in a plant.

Can a magnetic field affect plant growth; i.e.
Height of plant
Size of leaves
Width of stem
etc.?

Yes, but what kind of changes?
And Since we're on the subject, what effect does it have on humans?

It seems so:

Belyavskaya N.A. Biological effects due to weak magnetic field on plants (2004) Advances in Space Research, 34 (7 SPEC. ISS.), pp. 1566-1574.

One article I came across claims that a low frequency magnetic field has a hypotensive effect
