"Dr. George Starr White was one of the first to
experiment with ground rods and plants, as early as 1940! Running copper wires from a grounded
copper rod into a series of potted plants, Dr. White found that this
simple arrangement greatly stimulated the life processes of his test
plants. Wired plants grew taller and flourished. It was remarked that
these plants produced better foliage, more beautiful flowers, and more
succulent fruit."
Dr. White, in his early investigations, established
that metal grounds enhanced the life force in plants. His early
experiments with natural earth currents revealed that plants need specific
ground currents by which their life force is greatly magnified.
"Plants absorb gases and mineral waters only because
they are biodynamically activated by an external energy. These studies and
others show that plants function because they first absorb radionic currents
from the ground and from space. Vegetative life functions all but cease in the
absence of radionic currents. In this vantage, we study the processes
which precede plant metabolism. Indeed, we will learn that the radionic earth
currents comprise the fundamental nutritive need of plants. We will therefore
focus attention on the energetic precursors to plant life, the radionic currents
which raise vegetative forms up from mineral matter. (http://journal.borderlands.com/2000/plants-and-radionic-currents/)
