Electroculture

Electroculture is an exciting topic in gardening that explores the potential benefits of using low-intensity electrical currents on plants. 

By applying controlled electrical stimulation to plants, we can potentially boost their growth, improve crop harvests, and improve overall plant health. 

This concept focuses on learning how electricity affects plant biology, such as nutrient absorption, root growth, and other important processes.

While electroculture is still a developing field with continuous research, there are some interesting findings worth exploring. 

Electroculture Research

If you’re interested in learning more about electroculture, here are some recommended sources:
