A magnetic field oscillator was designed and made. The oscillator was installed around a water pipe and radiated into water which was provided for vegetables cultivation. The oscillator was made with a helmholtz coil and installed a magnetic field sensor inside. The class E amplifier circuit with frequency variance was also used. Hydroponic and soil cultural methods were used for cultivation of lettuce and chinese cabbage with magnetic field water and without. Vitamin C ingredients in the lettuce and chinese cabbage which were grown with magnetic field water were 2.8 times and 1.2 times higher than without the magnetic water. Moreover, the growth acceleration effect of vegetables was shown in lettuce cultivated with the magnetic field water.
