Preliminary results regarding electrostimulation of the physiological rithm by using continuous electric current in pepper crops

Abstract

The goal of this research was to study the usefulness of the continuous current in a sweet pepper crop, the process that aims to accelerate the rhythm of flowering, fructification and ripening, obtaining more early harvests in conditions of food safety that does not affect consumers' health. Thus, by connecting the plant to a continuous current that will generate a negatively charged mangentic field, it stimulates the absorption from the soil of the essential mineral elements in terms of good development of plant growth and development. The method consists in creating a flow of electrons circulating from the plant's base to the top. This field that will be loaded in turn with negative electrical load, has the property to attract positively charged electrical loads. The most favourable results were achieved in the case of a continuous current of 1.5 V, the positive pole being located in the apical area, and the negative one being inserted at the base of the plant's stem.
