Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a purported water structuring device on germination and sprout growth of unirradiated and Wi-FiTM exposed organic peas and red clover seeds. A commercial product, the Amezcua BioDisc-3 by QNet, was used. Peas and red clover seeds were grown under controlled laboratory conditions of light, temperature, and hydration. Irradiated samples were continuously exposed to pulsed radiation (100 mW/m2, 2.45 and 5.8 GHz carrier waves) from an idling Wi-FiTM router, and unirradiated samples were exposed to the laboratory’s ambient wireless communication radiation background of 10-4 mW/m2. For both exposure conditions, test samples received continuous BioDisc-3 treatment while controls received no treatment. Filtered municipal tap water was used. Sprouts were comparatively assessed by photography, germination time, fresh weight, and dried biomass at the end of the experiments. No differences were found in germination time for treatment or control samples. Wi-FiTM exposed pea and red clover sprouts were generally smaller in appearance and had reduced fresh weight compared to unirradiated sprouts, replicating findings by others. BioDisc-3 treatment significantly enhanced the growth of pea and red clover sprouts in both unirradiated and Wi-FiTM exposed conditions, increasing fresh weights of the sprouts differentially for the two species, with greater effects on peas. At the endpoint, BioDisc-3 treatment yielded 11.9% and 11.8% greater dried biomass for unirradiated and Wi-FiTM exposed peas, respectively; and 3.7% and 4.0% greater dried biomass for unirradiated and Wi-FiTM exposed red clover, respectively. Therefore, BioDisc-3 enhanced sprout growth of both species for both radiation exposure conditions.
