ABSTRACT
This study tested the Null Hypothesis for the
effect of BioField Energy applied to two separate
crops under typical growing conditions, namely
ginseng and organic blueberry in commercial
plantings in Wisconsin and California, respectively.
Following treatment to replicated plots in standard
experimental design, data were collected at
harvest for yield quantity and quality. Ginseng
plants treated both pre-harvest and a combination
of pre- and post-harvest showed market grade
increases of 33.3% and 40.0%, respectively.
Point of sale gross return for this crop is
dependent upon tuber quality, and from these
data the economics of these treatments were
calculated. Based on stand adjusted yields and
quality values, a combination of pre- and post-
harvest treatment increased gross income by
57.4%. The second crop showed similar trends
in positive responses. In the two blueberry
varieties studied, Emerald treated plants showed
96% statistical increase in yield, while Jewel
showed 31% increase. At the time of treatment,
each variety was in a different stage of flowering.
The Emerald variety was in the flowering stage,
and Jewel was predominately in the fruiting
stage. Both treated cultivars however demons-
trated increased yield quantity and quality. The
specific mechanisms that lead to these pre-
liminary results need further investigation.
Keywords: crop yield, biofield treatment, ginseng,
blueberry
INTRODUCTION
Information-containing biofield energies
surrounding living organisms are postulated to be
involved in their self-regulation processes (e.g.
Rubik, 2002). In the field of complementary and
alternate medicines, some attempts have been
made to define a biophysical basis for such
energies and to lay down some guidelines for
clinical studies (e.g. review by Movaffaghi and
Farsi, 2009). The energies have often been
investigated in the past but their impact has never
been consistent enough to be scientifically non-
controversial in laboratory measurements. Both
the NCCAM (National Center for Complementary
and Alternative Medicine in the US) and the ACS
(American Cancer Society) have issued
statements that biofield energy therapies are not
supported by available scientific evidence at this
point of time (ACS, 2011; NCCAM, 2007).
However biofield energies due to intentional
mental energies transmitted by specific energy
healers have increasingly been shown in recent
times to have scientifically measurable impact on
matter, on microbes and also on plants. From the
time of Descartes the basic assumptions of
science have progressively concluded that such
energies can be ignored in normal scientific
models of the material world, and the
development of many noteworthy technologies
has been the result. Nevertheless, the finding that
biofield energies are able to directly influence
matter, and more specifically, that they can
influence the development and self-expression of
living organisms, is of value to science. It is
therefore necessary to determine the nature of
the impact, scientifically integrate it into models
and develop technologies to use such influences
in beneficial ways if they are proven to be
consistent and reproducible.
Recent studies by Trivedi and Tallapragada
(2008, 2009) claim quantifiable transformations in
the physical and structural properties of organic and
inorganic materials due to such biofield energy.
They report that elemental diamond, graphite and

Following treatment to replicated plots in standard experimental design, data were collected at harvest for yield quantity and quality. Ginseng plants treated both pre-harvest and a combination of pre- and post-harvest showed market grade increases of 33.3% and 40.0%, respectively. Point of sale gross return for this crop is dependent upon tuber quality, and from these data the economics of these treatments were calculated. Based on stand adjusted yields and quality values, a combination of pre- and post- harvest treatment increased gross income by 57.4%. The second crop showed similar trends in positive responses. In the two blueberry varieties studied, Emerald treated plants showed 96% statistical increase in yield, while Jewel showed 31% increase. At the time of treatment, each variety was in a different stage of flowering. The Emerald variety was in the flowering stage, and Jewel was predominately in the fruiting stage. Both treated cultivars however demons- trated increased yield quantity and quality. The specific mechanisms that lead to these pre- liminary results need further investigation. Keywords: crop yield, biofield treatment, ginseng, blueberry INTRODUCTION Information-containing biofield energies surrounding living organisms are postulated to be involved in their self-regulation processes (e.g. Rubik, 2002). In the field of complementary and alternate medicines, some attempts have been made to define a biophysical basis for such energies and to lay down some guidelines for clinical studies (e.g. review by Movaffaghi and Farsi, 2009). The energies have often been investigated in the past but their impact has never been consistent enough to be scientifically non- controversial in laboratory measurements. Both the NCCAM (National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine in the US) and the ACS (American Cancer Society) have issued statements that biofield energy therapies are not supported by available scientific evidence at this point of time (ACS, 2011; NCCAM, 2007). However biofield energies due to intentional mental energies transmitted by specific energy healers have increasingly been shown in recent times to have scientifically measurable impact on matter, on microbes and also on plants. From the time of Descartes the basic assumptions of science have progressively concluded that such energies can be ignored in normal scientific models of the material world, and the development of many noteworthy technologies has been the result. Nevertheless, the finding that biofield energies are able to directly influence matter, and more specifically, that they can influence the development and self-expression of living organisms, is of value to science. It is therefore necessary to determine the nature of the impact, scientifically integrate it into models and develop technologies to use such influences in beneficial ways if they are proven to be consistent and reproducible. Recent studies by Trivedi and Tallapragada (2008, 2009) claim quantifiable transformations in the physical and structural properties of organic and inorganic materials due to such biofield energy. They report that elemental diamond, graphite and Accredited SK No.: 81/DIKTI/Kep/2011 http://dx.doi.org/10.17503/Agrivita-2013-35-1-p022-029
