Energy seed treatments: A review

Abstract

Energy seed treatment is an innovative area of research and acts as a magical tool which could enhance the yield levels. The application of electricity, magnetism, irradiation and sound intensities can stimuli the growth response in plants to a greater extent. This little-known technology plays a major role in accelerating growth rates, increasing yields, improving seed quality parameters, protecting plants from diseases, insects and frost. These methods also can reduce the requirement of fertilizer or pesticides and farmers can grow better crops in less time, with less effort and at a lower cost.
