The dependence of the light yield on magnetic field has been measured up to 0.45 T for the plastic scintillators NE-102A, SCSN-38 and Polivar. The scintillators were excited by 25 MeV protons, 5.9 keV X-rays and UV light. When excited with ionizing radiation an increase of light yield is observed. For SCSN-38 of 2.7 mm thickness it amounts to 0.3%, 0.9%, 1.1% and 3.3% at 1, 10, 100 and 450 mT respectively. NE-102A behaves similar, whereas a PMMA based scintillator shows a stronger field dependence.
