With the application of the electricity through Antenna system‚ the growth of clover has increased to 7 feet high. He also proved that it is a great way of reducing the chance of devastating the crop by pest and disease control. Another study by Ross (1987) who did the first attempt to influence the growth rate of biological system of a plant by passing current through

The chemical formula for photosynthesis is: Sunlight 6CO2 +6H2O → C6H12O6 + 6O2 Chlorophyll The plant requires light‚ carbon dioxide and water to partake in photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is crucial to the survival of the plant and all organisms that rely on the plant for food as it enables the plant to produce

Allium spp. responded with growth promotion on AMF inoculation. Onion plants inoculated with AMF (Glomus intraradices or Glomus versiforme) grown in pots with mineral soil with higher biomass than non-inoculated plants and reached marketable size (>25 mm bulb diameter) 1-2 weeks earlier than those (5). These AMF inoculation causes bulb development of onions (5). Mycorrhizal inoculation lead to 22% increase yields of onions compared to controls. Mixed application of mycorrhizal inoculation‚ humic
