Key Findings

Researchers investigated the physiological effects of low-energy pulsed electric fields (~1 V/m) on several plant species. The study found that even brief, low-energy stimulation can trigger a rapid water enrichment response in stems by modulating the plant’s internal circadian clock and stomatal transport systems. Experimental results in wheat demonstrated measurable gains in both total biomass and juice yield, though the effect is strictly dependent on adequate water availability.
