In this paper we report the effect of electric fields on the growth of soy seedlings. Experiments performed in a dark, constant-climate chamber show that no significant change in the length of the seedlings was produced by an electrostatic field of 3600 V/m. On the other hand, a.c. electric fields of 3600 and 1800 V/m increase the average length of the seedlings by about 12% and 8%, respectively. The analysis, obtained by examining several thousands of seedlings, cultivated in well-controlled and reproducible conditions for a period of two years, is characterized by a very high statistical significance. Even if the underlying biophysical mechanism is still unclear, the result suggests the possibility to influence plant growth by using very low-frequency electric fields. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V.
