According to Manguiam et al (2019).

As long as the necessary conditions are met dormancy and vital


nutrients supplied electric voltage can accelerate plant growth, enhance crop quality, and boost
agricultural yields. This method of gardening is known as electroculture.

According to Gupta (2018). The observation that treated plants' seeds developed more quickly than
control plants' seeds suggested that electricity may play a significant role in accelerated enzyme
secretion and accelerated food mobilization.

According to Mukundraj, B. P. (2018). Because of the use of electricity


the growth parameters such as root length, root thickness, root
weight, and aerial biomass increased significantly.
As mentioned by kamweru (2020). For leaving cells to survive, they
need electrical activities in their tissue cells, which results in
their changing behavior in the pollen grains, buds, and even in their
roots.

As mentioned by biswas et al (2016). Pre-sowing electric field treatment can be used to promote seed
germination, vigor, and yield as it alters numerous characteristics, such as the capacity of seeds to
absorb water. Biswas, D., Sadhu, T. K., & Bhattacharyya, R. (2016). Effect
of pre-sowing electric field treatment of the seeds on some
physiological parameters of Phaseolus mungo L. Indian Journal of Plant
Physiology, 21(3), 366–369. doi:10.1007/s40502-016-0232-5 

As mentioned by Li et al (2019)0. Under usual germination conditions, electrical stimulation increased


the percentage of seed germination, the length of shoots and roots, and the fresh weight of maize
seedlings within a specific range, electrical stimulation decreased the degree of membrane lipid
peroxidation, reversed the fall in tissue vigor, and increased the proportion of maize seedlings that
survived heat stress in an intensity-dependent manner.

According to Mashkov (2020). The effectiveness of magnetic fields and electric currents is influenced by

electrolyte-containing fluids moving throughout the plant's cell, green vegetable crops can be grown
using this method, which is environmentally friendly.

As mentioned by Nassar (2020). Electric pulses enhance nutrient uptake during growth stages,
producing favorable effects and highlighting the advantages of this method over conventional
agricultural techniques for enhancing the nutritional value of the tubers and assisting in the reduction of
environmental pollution and the use of chemicals on the crops to prevent bacterial wilt disease.

According to Panggabean et al (2019). Upon examination of proteins, APX, SOD, and electrical
conductivity, the effects of the electric field treatment and variations in fruit color on seed metabolism
in speeding germination were not statistically different. Reddish-green seeds are able to germinate
quickly when placed in an electric field.

As mentioned by Mamlic et al (2021). The germination of seeds and plant growth rates may be
accelerated via electroculture, increasing agricultural yield. Additionally, electricity can shield plants
from pests, illness, and cold while lowering the need for fertilizer and pesticides.
According to akon et al (2018). The numerous vegetative and growth parameters of the strawberry were
significantly impacted by the EC values of the nutrient solution. The output of biomass varied between
the plants cultivated at different EC values, and the difference was noticeable. The majority of the
vegetative parameters described above have demonstrated relevance in comparison to the increased EC
concentration.
