The purpose of this experiment is to investigate the effect of water in the vicinity of a plant growth reactor on the initial growth of wheat.
This reactor is designed to accelerate plant growth and improve the quality and health of buds without making any physical changes or adding chemicals to the water.
For this purpose, two groups of wheat were irrigated under identical environmental conditions, including a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius and natural indirect light, for three days. One group was irrigated with regular water and the other group was irrigated with water that was placed in the vicinity of this reactor.
Physicochemical analysis showed that the two types of water were completely similar in terms of main parameters including TDS, conductivity, pH, and TDS 350 ppm, 7.87 times, 700 microsiemens per centimeter, and pH. Ordinary water had TDS 349 ppm, 7.97 times, 703 microsiemens per centimeter, and pH, while the water adjacent to the reactor had a temperature of 25 degrees Celsius at the time of irrigation.
| Parameter | Normal Water | Reactor-Exposed Water |
|---|---|---|
| pH | 7.97 | 7.87 |
| Electrical Conductivity (EC, µS/cm) | 703 | 700 |
| Total Dissolved Solids (TDS, ppm) | 349 | 350 |
Water temperature during irrigation: 25°C
This finding emphasizes that any differences in plant growth cannot be due to ordinary chemical or physical differences in water.
In the group irrigated with regular water, the shoots were generally small, thin, and pale. Their color varied from colorless to very pale green, and the structure of the shoots was thin and sometimes weak. These characteristics indicate normal growth without specific stimulation under standard conditions.

In contrast, the group irrigated with water adjacent to the reactor produced shoots with a completely distinct appearance. These shoots appeared darker green, thicker, and with a more compact structure, even in cases where the shoot length was average. Their physical appearance indicated higher health and physiological activity.
| No. | Shoot Length (mm) | Average Root (mm) | Number of Roots |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 20, 15, 22 | 19.0 | 10 |
| 2 | 22, 6, 6 | 11.3 | 6 |
| 3 | 22, 8, 9 | 13.0 | 5 |
| 4 | 17, 9, 11 | 12.3 | 9 |
| 5 | 15, 15, 12 | 14.0 | 7 |
| 6 | 22, 12, 12 | 15.3 | 7 |
| 7 | 23, 12, 12 | 15.7 | 6 |
| 8 | 16, 8 | 12.0 | 6 |
| 9 | 20, 10 | 15.0 | 8 |
| 10 | 20, 10, 10 | 13.3 | 6 |
| 11 | 9, 9, 14 | 10.7 | 7 |
| Average | — | 14.15 | 6.64 |
Quantitative data also confirm these observations. The average root length in the normal water group was 11 mm and in the reactor water group was 14 mm, indicating better root growth in the reactor group. But more importantly, the average shoot length was measured at 5 mm in the normal water group and 6.5 mm in the reactor water group.
This difference in shoot length, along with the visual characteristics such as darker green and thicker leaves, indicates that the water adjacent to the reactor was able to effectively stimulate the growth of the aerial part of the plant.
Given that all known water parameters were the same, this effect is likely due to the unique property of the reactor, which is that it does not add any chemicals and does not change the temperature.
In the present image, eight sprout samples are visible, the top four samples were irrigated with water under the influence of the growth enhancement reactor, and the bottom four samples were irrigated with regular water. A careful and scientific examination of these samples in terms of sprout and root growth shows clear differences between the two groups.
Description of the upper samples of growth reactor water
The shoots in this group are longer and grow more vertically. The stems are greener and their color appears brighter, which is a sign of increased chlorophyll and better photosynthetic activity. The shoots have grown more evenly and their height is almost the same. This indicates more stable conditions for growth. In contrast, the roots in this group are less dense and relatively thinner. Root filaments are present, but their development and spread are not as large as in the normal water group. This indicates that the plant has focused more on the growth of the aerial part in this water condition and has felt less need for extensive root expansion to absorb water and nutrients.
Description of the bottom samples of ordinary water
The buds in this group are shorter and their color is lighter or yellowish, which can indicate less chlorophyll or limitations in growth conditions. The density of the buds is higher horizontally and closer to the seed, and unlike the group above, there is no significant elongation in the stems, but the roots in this group are much denser and wider. Numerous and intertwined white threads are observed, which indicates the plant’s desire to develop more roots to access water and food sources. In this group, the plant has turned more towards rooting to meet its needs in order to compensate for environmental deficiencies.
Scientific conclusion from comparison
The water under the influence of the reactor has increased the growth of the aerial part of the buds. In these conditions, the plant allocates more energy to the elongation of the stem and the formation of leaves, and this is evident in the greener color and uniformity of growth. In such conditions, the plant has less need for extensive root development because it has easier access to water and nutrients. In contrast, in normal water conditions, the growth of the buds is more limited, but the roots are highly developed, which indicates that the plant has been forced to invest more in the underground part to meet its water and nutrient needs
The overall effect of reactor water on plant growth
- It has increased the length and uniformity of the shoots.
- A brighter green color indicates an improvement in the state of chlorophyll and photosynthesis.
- The relative decrease in root growth indicates that the plant’s water requirement is lower in these conditions and the plant is not forced to grow extensive roots to absorb resources.
- The focus of growth has shifted from the roots to the aerial part, which could mean that the plant has easier access to water and nutrients in the presence of water under the influence of the reactor.
