5. PRAG results:
India Tomato plant behaviour
Approx. 2600 plants each per pranic and control group
Fertilized on day 8 & 21 with 17-17-17 NPK; day 45 with DAP
Treated on day 15 & 28 with Dimethoate
Measured Difference to Control
Height + 18.5 %
Stem diameter + 12.05 %
Number of flowers + 31.75 %
Yield in kg + 31.1 %
24% higher yield in a similar
slightly smaller study in 2014

10. PRAG results:
Colombia
Crops under trial: Tomato, lettuce, onions,
yuca, cacao, coffee & sugar cane
In 3 different ecological zones;
Pranic treatments and observations conducted by small scale family farmers
on working farms
Advers weather conditions, especially on annual crops, and
Longterm crops showing no significant difference in growth yet
Preliminary observations:
Level of pests on coffee appears lower
Quality and concentration of sugar in pranic sugar cane appears to be better

12. PRAG results:
Colombia
Sugar cane harvest (100 plants of pranic and organic controls each)
Measure Pranic Control
Height (average in cm) 234 252
Internodal distance (cm) 23.6 22.3
Stem diameter (cm) 3.1 3.2
Total weight (kg) 142 154
Syrup volume (lt) 49.5 51.5
Syrup weight (kg) 56.2 51.5
Panella (sugar) weight (kg) 9 9.5
Next tests: non-sugar residues and repeat trial with sugar concentration
Potential difference in quality of the end product and concentration of syrup.

13. Conclusions:
- Productivity increases in major commodities, and
horticultural crops
(for organic & conventional)
- Potentially less disease and pest pressures
- Measurable quality differences
- Greater income with lower costs, &
- Reduced risks for organic practices
- More controlled research into factors that influence efficiency
of pranic techniques
First Pranic Healing Research Conference, Bogota, Colombia 14 Sept. 2015
14. Conclusions:
Conscious pranic agriculture practice will lead to:
(apart from healthier food and environment and more prosperity)
New collaborative awareness:
From I to We
First Pranic Healing Research Conference, Bogota, Colombia 14 Sept. 2015
15. Therefore
Conscious pranic agriculture practice will lead to:
Economically more secure farms under most conditions
Healthier food and environment
Farmer and farm experience as connection to all:
One with All
=
Food & nutrition that reconnects us, (in-)forms us
