Evaluating the Effects of Blessing/Biofield Energy Interventions (BEI) on Eggplant’s (Solanum melongena L.) Growth, Development, and Productivity

Abstract

Objective: Eggplant is the most important fruit vegetable crop in many countries, including India. In spite of this, its production is hindered by low nutrient availability in soil and cost of production. Therefore, the objective of this study was to improve vegetative growth, phenological development, yield, and soil fertility using spiritual blessing energy (biofield) treatment (SBET), known as the Trivedi Effect^®. Methods: Soil physical features were measured using the hand feel method. Mineral components were determined using standard methods. Plant morphological, phenological, and yield-related parameters were measured by experienced scientists. Results: The interaction effect between blessing/biofield energy treatment (BET) with the seeds and lands significantly (p < 0.001) impacted the number of fruits per plant, plant height, leaf area, branch number, leaf number, fruit diameter, fresh fruit yield per plant, and total fresh fruit yield. According to the current investigation, number of fruits per plant was recorded significantly (p ≤ 0.001) higher by 20.75% in the BTEGPG than CONEGPG. The fruit (fresh) yield (ton/ha) was improved by 45.39% in the BTEGPG compared to the CONEGPG. Conclusion: This BET approach effectively supported both the yield and the quality of eggplant fruits.
