    Climate alteration and population growth have been responsible for the yield decline in crop. Until now, several researchers have been used various physical and chemical factors to stimulate plant growth and development. Static magnetic field (SMF) application has been identified to be a physical technique and useful to control plant diseases and stimulation of biomass yield. Little studies have been made to detection the role of SMF on plant physiological response, defense mechanisms, and plant tolerance against various stress conditions. On the other hand, application of man-made devices producing magnetic field (MF) is also increasing, and more studies are needed on living organisms. This review investigates the impact of MF on induction of seed germination and plant growth. Also, the supportive impact of SMF was investigated on membrane permeability, ion currents, secondary metabolite and antioxidant enzyme activities to suppress oxidative damage. The potential impact of SMF on enzymatic and non-enzymatic antioxidants can cause to increase plant tolerance during adverse conditions of other stresses such as salinity, metal contamination, drought ant etc. This review presents the basic and recent studies about the effect of SMF on plant adaptation to stress environment and emphasizes more research is involved to illuminate how SMF is precepted by cells, and the molecular mechanisms of SMF for plant protection under other stress conditions.
