Agricultural companies are asked to thread a difficult needle feed but without polluting pesticides or fertiliser runoff while lowering energy costs using less land and constantly increasing crop yields in an increasingly unpredictable warming world. Many researchers at the vanguard of the new wave of electrical agriculture think it can play a role in improving each of those aspects of food production.

A more advanced version can be found in Beijing where researchers have set up a rig that resembles the original device to infuse their plants with electricity. Unlike their predecessors they reported excellent results notably on green beans in . In the US a number of institutions are trying to resurrect a different approach artificial lightning. Lightning had long been understood to invigorate plants and even mushrooms. When the old electroculturists first tried to harness lightnings benefits centuries ago however dubious anecdotal results were all the approach had to recommend it.
