“I get the same results with compost or manure.”
I visited a customer’s vegetable garden where a large portion (200 m²) is covered with horse, chicken and pig manure, plus well-decomposed compost. He’s going to test the Plantonic on a barely-manured tomato area of about 20 m².
One advantage, he says, is that with Plantonic there are no more wheelbarrows of manure to move — and you can’t drive a mini-excavator into a vegetable garden anyway.
Quick maths: 20 m² × 0.20 m of manure = 4 m³, i.e. about 40 wheelbarrows to move. For his full 200 m² garden, that’s 400 wheelbarrows. You can measure the energy, time and effort that work represents.
Using 80cm-tall raised beds is also a growing trend: more practical, they save your back during weeding or harvesting. If the beds have no bottom and their soil is in contact with the ground, a single Plantonic is enough for a total surface of 300 to 1,000 m² — no need to install one Plantonic per bed (unlike beds isolated from the ground).
Another drawback of livestock manure: traces of medicines or treatment products excreted by the animals, plus the smells during storage and spreading. For compost enthusiasts, buying bags from garden centres is a non-negligible budget that can be reduced or eliminated.
For market gardeners, handling manure and compost takes a lot of machine time and burns fuel. Electroculture eliminates this work and lets you focus on more rewarding tasks while saving money.
When chemical fertilisers arrived, the sales pitch was easy spreading in a single tractor pass — same for liquid pesticides. But the investment cost (machinery + fuel) is staggering. Today, the pursuit of profitability calls for renewed techniques, delivering measurable savings for low investments, without depending on consumables whose prices are skyrocketing.
Electroculture brings many advantages to crops
- The Plantonic technique works with small autonomous electronic devices, solar-powered.
- The cost of the devices and installation is low — paid back in under a year.
- The stimulated surface ranges from 1 m² to 2,000 m² to date, with a range of 4 devices.
- Nothing prevents extending the surface with more powerful devices (> 1 ha).
- Installation is simple and one-shot: no setup, no teardown.
- No inputs or consumables needed for several years.
- Technique almost weather-independent: sun is all you need for the solar panel.
Improved crops and harvests
- Plantonic improves soil fertility and regenerates damaged soils by recreating the conditions of a naturally living soil with humus formation.
- Plant growth is greater and harvests are more abundant.
- The taste quality of fruits and root vegetables is significantly improved, as is their vitality for our metabolism (biophoton study: electroculture surpasses organic). Vegetables become true superfoods.
- Healthy plants avoid diseases and predator attacks.
- It stimulates the presence of pollinators and avoids costly pesticide treatments.
- Eliminates the heavy work of handling manure and other inputs.
- Lets you set up a “control” zone close to the stimulated zone to verify the technique’s effectiveness.
- Protects the environment: no pollution, no pesticides.
Better profitability for your farm
- Low investment, paid back in under a year.
- Saves working time and energy: once installed, the device works alone continuously with minimal maintenance, and the stimulated surface extends easily.
- Measurable productivity gain through more abundant harvests.
- Top-tier production at mid-range prices, with better competitiveness against industrial production.
- Time and energy saved: focus on the most profitable tasks.
- 3-month “satisfied or refunded” guarantee (no refund requests received in 10 years).
Barriers to purchase
- “Too good to be true” — that’s why we offer tests at your place, under our supervision, on a small area with a “control” zone and a stimulated zone.
- The technique threatens sales of consumables, pesticides and seeds that keep farmers dependent.
- It’s dismissed by agricultural advisors who don’t know it — like permaculture in its day.
- It was developed by independent researchers, not by official research institutions (which only work under contract with major firms).
- “If it worked, we’d know about it” — it’s been around for over 300 years; we’re just modernising and improving these techniques with 21st-century means.
- It’s hard to question oneself for a technique outside the agricultural system — reassuring and alienating, but obsolete.
