“…Andersen and Vad [16] investigated the growth of Serratia marcescens and Escherichia coli at various filed strengths. Some researchers also considered the effect of environmental electric field on the seed germination, plant growth, respiration, and tolerance [17][18][19][20][21][22].…”

At present, the researchers mainly focused on the degradation of vegetation caused by the sand burial, the sand flowing, and the loss of soil moisture and nutrients but never considered the impact of strong environmental electric field, which caused by the moving sand particles, on the physiological process of plants. In this chapter, we briefly introduced the research progress of wind-blown sand electrification and proposed a coupling prediction model to explain the contact electrification phenomenon of moving sand. At last, based on the rigid conduit model and the root-water-uptake model, we discussed the effect of wind-blown sand electric field, which maximum value can reach to 200 kV/m, on the speed of plant sap flow, the water potential of root, and the cell membrane permeability, respectively. The numerical simulation results showed that the wind-blown sand electric field directly accelerates the sap flow rate and indirectly decreased the water potential of plant root, which finally affects the plant physiological processes. These results can explain why the effect of wind-blown sand on the plant is obvious than that of the clean wind. From these discussions, we effectively illustrate the impact mechanism of wind-blown sand on the plant physiology in the desertification land.So, we obtain the ion flux: Sand Electrification Possibly Affects the Plant Physiology in Desertification Land http://dx.doi.org/10.5772/intechopen.74976 95 Figure 8.

“…If it happens, the period between planting and emergence can be reduced [3]. The initial appearance usually means healthier plants and energy producing higher yields [4]. Therefore, the use of electrical energy to biological organisms has the potential to increase the production of food.…”

“…This can lead to the uses of electricity to stimulate the growth of the fair organism or use it to slow down the growth or reproduction of unwanted organisms. If either of these approaches yields positive results, humans would benefit [4]. The effect of electric field treated water towards young vegetables which were a new kind of method has been carried out to give more significant results.…”

<p>Electromagnetic radiations present in the environment has a profound effect on the growth of vegetable plant primarily grown under the high power transmission lines. The high electric field generated due to ultra high voltage causes the increase and reduction in the size of the plants. Numerous research have been carried out to investigate the effect of electric field on the plants. However, the knowledge in term of quantitative analysis on the effect of electric field on the growth of vegetables is not entirely understood. Thus, this paper presents a study conducted to investigate the effect of high voltage DC electric fields on the young vegetables growth namely ‘Choy Sam’ and bean sprout. The experimental setup was designed which composed of two parallel plate electrodes. This research was focused on the percentage of germination and growing rate of young vegetables. The growth of the young vegetables during exposure was calculated by using statistical methods. The analysis of the results showed that the electric fields and the electric fields treated water have influenced the germination rate and height of stems of both young vegetables causing the increase in stem height.</p><p> </p>
