Aaron Murakami's conference presentation on electroculture, the use of high voltage electrostatic fields to affect plant growth, a practice he dates back about 270 to 280 years. He covers the history and the main methods: a high voltage supply with the negative to earth and the positive on a wire strung a couple of meters above the crop, passing effectively no current; a magnetic method he attributes to a Bedini replication of Nathan Stubblefield's work; and Georges Lakhovsky's concentric rings, capacitively coupled rather than electrically connected, placed around a plant. The study he cites is a 17-year program published in 1973, which he says reported dry weight of cereals up 60 percent and carrots up 183 percent. He closes by moving from growth effects toward gene expression in plants. The figures quoted are that study's, reported here as what the presentation cites.
