Abstract:
The effects of space electric field on absorption of CO
2 and growth speed of plants were studied. First,the ability of absorbing CO
2 and
14C—HCO
-3 for tomato planted in nutrient solution under different space electric-field conditions was analyzed by isotope tracer method. It is proved that
14C—HCO
-3 is a kind of anion controlled by space electric field. The flow direction of
14C—HCO
-3 changes with space electric field strength. Taking hollow vegetable as test material, a growth-comparison test was performed by combination of the parameters of space electric field and initial concentration of CO
2. The result analyzed by CO
2 analytical method of infrared ray shows that polarity of electric field has remarkable influences on CO
2 absorption rate of plant. The positive pole of electric field can greatly improve CO
2 absorption, it can increase the growth speed and double the production of plant by a big margin in greenhouse. The research lays a foundation for further study of increasing plant growth by space electric field.
