Peer-Reviewed Paper

Chier, M.Oakey, A.Budny, M. L.Lemoine, N. P. 2025

Peer-Reviewed Paper

• No consistent evidence was found that passive copper rods improve plant growth, photosynthesis, or harvest yield.Observed increases in turnip biomass were likely due to copper fertilization rather than electrical conductance.Passive copper rods produce voltages (2-20 mV) that are too low to influence plant physiology compared to active systems.

Peer-Reviewed Paper

• Optimal growth outcomes were achieved at a conservative threshold of 50 mA during a 15-minute seed treatment.Higher electrical currents up to 150 mA can yield favorable results if treatment time is reduced to 5 minutes.Projections suggest stimulated seeds can produce an impressive 25 t/ha of biomass for bioethanol production.

Peer-Reviewed Paper

• An optimal field strength of 30 kV/m was identified as the most effective for stimulation.Plant height increased by 22.8% compared to the control group at the optimal intensity.Stimulation reduced the coefficient of variation in plant height to 3.89%, indicating more uniform crop development.

Peer-Reviewed Paper

• Blue laser light at an 85-second exposure time achieved the highest seed yield of 7003.4 kg/ha.Blue and green lasers increased the number of rows per ear to 39.1 and 45 respectively, compared to a control of 36.Plant height was comparatively higher in blue laser light treatments reaching 211 cm.

• Exposure to weak pulsed fields resulted in a 10.3% increase in wheat biomass growth.Wheatgrass juice yield showed an 8.4% increase under electrical stimulation with sufficient hydration.A short 10-15 minute exposure triggers water enrichment in stem tissues by shifting circadian regulation.
