Effect of Electricity on Plant Growth | DIY Gardening Experiment on Electro-Culture with Results

We will investigate the effect of electricity on Plant growth in this video. Let’s conduct a simple gardening experiment on electroculture and see what happens to plant growth when they are electrocuted with a low DC voltage? This experiment can be a very good school project for kids to develop their interest in gardening. This experiment is based on two observations: 1. Plants appearing healthier after a thunderstorm possibly due to the effect of lightning and electricity. 2. Plants growing near an electric power cable generally look greener and healthier. Now, Let’s conduct this experiment starting with our: Hypothesis: Seeds germinate faster and Plants grow faster and healthier when electrocuted with a low voltage DC current. I came across a lot of research articles online on electroculture studies. According to electrocuture technique, Plants are sensitive to electricity and magnetism. Improved plant growth and increased yields are some of the positive effects of electroculture. This technology can even be used to protect plants from pests and diseases. The mechanism of action? Well, I could not fine convincing answers. May be due to the copper electrodes causing electrolysis or electrophoresis and releasing copper and other salt ions within the soil, or the electromagnetic field from the electric current causing movement of different ions into the roots. Materials and Methods: The materials required for this gardening project are: - 3 plastic Containers - Identical Plant seeds for All 3 containers - Identical Potting Mix for All 3 Containers - A DC 9V Battery, A DC 3V Battery - Copper rods or Copper Wires as Electrodes - A Ruler or a Measuring Tape. Let’s Begin: Please watch the video for results on Day 4 and Day 7.
