Electric field to accelerate plant growth: a new development of scientists
A group of scientists from the Chinese Academy of Sciences proved that the growth of crops can be stimulated artificially. Namely, with the help of an electric field. Researchers led by Jianjun Luo grew peas in greenhouse conditions. Some of the plants were grown in the usual way, and some were in the zone of the electric field.
It produced a miniature device called a triboelectric nanogenerator. The device is capable of converting wind and rain energy into electrical energy.
Experiments have shown that peas from the control group began to grow 20 percent faster than peas without stimulation. “The fact that natural elements can be used to increase crops is an important discovery and a huge achievement not only for us, but for the entire world community,” Lo commented on the discovery.
In addition, the system used to accelerate plant growth has a low cost (only $40). But Jianjun Luo has some concerns about how people will perceive food grown in an unconventional way. And he is in a hurry to reassure the public with the information that the increase in yield is carried out primarily due to photosynthesis. The scientist draws such conclusions on the basis that plants, under the influence of an electric field, released more chlorophylls than usual.
