Abstract
In previous presentations we have shown the effects of metal hydride water on plants. Cut flowers that absorb this water display unusual phenomena, which include a tendency to grow higher and continue to produce new flowers or leaves. Plants commonly maintain their condition for a long period of time while others mysteriously wither and die suddenly.
Flowers will usually begin to droop a short time after being cut. However, flowers that have absorbed the pH and ORP altered metal hydride water tend to maintain their vitality. This phenomenon appears to be caused by an ionic hydride reaction between CaH2and hydrogen in the form of a minus hydrogen ion. Changing the concentration of available minus hydrogen ions seems to control growth acceleration, plant preservation and flowering. This holds the possibility of controlling hydroponic plant health and growth, not only for cut flowers but also for plants in the agricultural field.
We are now clarifying under what conditions these phenomena occurs. We will report on research still in progress and discuss why similar phenomena are unlikely to occur in other forms of alkaline ionized water at a similar pH.
