With the application of the electricity through Antenna system‚ the growth of clover has increased to 7 feet high.

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
