Energy as the fundamental motor for life’s development

Living beings are living energy that vibrates between each other. Each atom and molecule that compose them generates frequencies that are expressed in the environment where they live, without realizing that they are doing it.

Moreover, if we think about Earth, which is in constant motion, it generates an amount of energy and vibrations far beyond what we can imagine, which conceives, for example, day and night, winter and summer, heat and cold: fundamental factors for human, animal and plant life.

Likewise, energy does not exist “by itself”, matter is required so that it can be captured and transmitted; but, for matter to move, it needs vibrations, generated by energy. It contains information, which is the exchange of this energy and the result of the relationship between living beings and everything they have matter.

A living being not only contains matter and energy, but also creates emotions, which show them through joys, rages, frustrations, dreams and hopes, to name a few, transmitted through vibrations. In basic language, they are positive and negative energies. All of them come and go to the one who generates them; therefore, if you are going to transmit positive or negative vibrations, it is for sure that those will be returned, it is a universal law. Everything that the living being does and thinks requires energy that is accompanied by specific frequencies or information.

This also applies to plants: they feel, listen, interact and transmit energy at the time of their biological cycle. The plant undergoes positive and negative changes, which are affected by vibrations that have been generated by a certain energy. Consequently, they are capable of absorbing frequencies that will allow optimal functioning, efficient assimilation of nutrients and generate defenses against any event external to it.

Knowing what those exact frequencies are is what has been determined with Kyminasi Plant Booster technology and the application of biophysics in agriculture. This technology is based on the energy and positive frequencies that the plant requires to generate a healthy life and crops where the farmer can choose an option that takes care of the environment where they grow.

In Search of Healthy Technologies in Agriculture

Agriculture is currently experiencing many changes. The significant increase in the demand for healthy, nutritious food, and increasing population, has put our farmers on alert to meet this need.

While agricultural production has increased over the years, it has not always been in a “clean” way. “Conventional” agriculture sometimes abuses the use of pesticides, fertilizers and other chemicals. An alternative is organic agriculture, which favors a more natural production and supplies part of the food demand. This goes hand in hand with the market’s demands of obtaining better fruits and vegetables, which has led to the development of plant varieties that are more resistant to insects, diseases or other pests, as well as a lot of investment in new technologies.

In this sense, technology in agriculture is here to stay, since, with its help, we will not only be able to obtain greater precision in the growth of crops, but also that they are healthy and friendly to the environment.

In this way, Kyminasi Plant Booster was born: a new technology that has come to revolutionize the agricultural world. It is biophysics, a science that takes the behavior of the plant to its natural state, composed of more than 3000 specific frequencies that the plant needs for optimal functioning.

The alluring thing about this technology is that it works from the inside out, strengthening the root mass of plants, achieving better absorption of nutrients and improving photosynthesis. Fruits and vegetables taste better and have more nutrients.

Kyminasi Plant Booster’s purpose is to help farmers meet the existing demand for agricultural products through sustainable agriculture: respecting the environment where the plant develops its entire vegetative life and allowing it to combat adversities that may arise naturally.

Kyminasi Plant Booster is already present in over 15 countries throughout the world and growing since its launch in November 2019. Harvest Harmonics is the exclusive worldwide distributor of this technology.

Pre-harvesting factors that could affect fruit quality.

Keeping the crops in perfect condition and ensuring that they guarantee an optimal development of agricultural production is necessary to enjoy a good harvest and that it remains in good condition for a longer period of time. In this article, we will review the importance of pre-harvest of different crops to later enjoy an optimal post-harvest.

Why is pre-harvest important to get good crops?

In fruit and vegetable production, quality is a determining factor, since good treatments during the growing period will guarantee good products and, therefore, that they reach consumers in perfect condition.

Fruit quality depends to a great extent on the cultivation and the correct development of the plant. That is, all the aspects that give shape and flavor to the fruit and that determine its quality are imposed from the pre-harvest phase it gets. The different processes applied later allow us to maintain its optimal conservation.

Therefore, it is essential to know the different aspects that can affect the pre-harvest and, eventually, the post-harvest.

What factors of the pre-harvest are decisive in the post-harvest maintenance of fruits?

It is necessary to take into account all the aspects of the pre-harvest that effectively affect the final result of the fruits. In this sense, we can speak of extrinsic, intrinsic, environmental, genetic and physiological factors.

External factors

Extrinsic factors are those external to the plant material itself but that in context affect the product, such as environmental factors and cultivation practices. When we talk about environmental factors we are referring to all those related to the environment in which the fruit is harvested, such as temperature, humidity, weather and the level of solar radiation.

On the other hand, cultivation practices also have a bearing on quality. With this we refer to irrigation and the pattern that is followed, the mineral nutrition of the crops and mowing, as well as the hormonal treatments or the attack of insects and microorganisms on the crops.

Internal factors

The intrinsic factors are those that refer to the characteristics of the fruits and differ between genetic factors (which include the species, the variety of fruit and their particular ripening patterns, and whether they are climacteric or non-climacteric products) and between the state maturity, that is, the time required for harvesting.

Environmental factors

Environmental factors have a strong influence on the quality and nutritional value of fruits. These factors include the amount and intensity of light, the temperatures to which the crops are exposed, or the CO2 content in the environment, among many others.

One of the most important factors is pre-harvest temperatures. Very high temperatures should be avoided, as they directly damage cell membranes and nucleic acids, and can indirectly inhibit pigmentation on some occasions.

Genetic factors

The genome is responsible for the development of the plant and its interrelation with environmental conditions and the external environment. This is appreciated in a very diverse way during the life of the plants and it seems that only 10% of it is needed, so that only a part of this factor will determine the quality of the fruit and for a short period of time.

It is necessary to consider that the genetic variety of the same crop is wide. Hence the importance of varietal selection, since the quality of the fruit depends on its genetic potential, environmental conditions and agricultural cultivation.

Physiological factors

In this case, it is necessary to point out that the ripeness of the fruit itself is essential in its chemical composition and, therefore, in its quality. It is precisely during ripening that different biochemical and structural processes take place, all of which are important in the constitution of the fruit and that it achieves optimal characteristics for human consumption.

The ripening phase is different for climacteric and non-climacteric fruits, since their senescence and aging processes are different.

The Importance of Technology in Sustainable Agriculture

Nowadays, agriculture faces the great challenge of increasing productivity due to the rising demand of food worldwide. The efficiency in hydric and natural resources usage, climate change adaptation, respecting of the environment where the crops will take place, and the farmer’s cooperation within the decision-making process are a set of factors that, if executed correctly, will allow a sustainable agriculture overtime.

A crucial element is working with the production systems on their different stages and, especially, where raw material is found: the field. It is here where an emphasis on improving production should be.

Productivity’s dropage can be related to various aspects, like plants’ poor management in trimming or crop varieties that couldn’t adapt to the ground. Irrigation is a key factor too: more watering does not mean better crops. Likewise, extreme fertilization is deteriorating the yield’s soil and often destroys all life surrounding the plant’s environment, stalling its growth and development, as well as plagues, which can affect and usually end with farming production. A farmer can work with and control all of these elements through sustainable agriculture and adding technology to the field.

It doesn’t just go through a clearly “ground” or field subject, this agriculture must manage to protect the rural life of those who work in it and the social welfare. Having a work environment in the farming industry with the field worker will allow access to excellent results. This social responsibility is like a backpack that our line of work has been enhancing and giving space to in traditional agriculture.

In order to address and improve these matters, it must be managed hand by hand with technology. There is no agriculture that lasts in time without superior technology in their course of action, it has to be an ally with the purpose of increasing our planet’s crops.

With this idea in mind, Kyminasi Plant Booster technology takes place and Harvest Harmonics company is in charge of distributing it: to reach a sustainable agriculture, allowing the farmer to have vigorous and profitable crops in short and medium terms while taking care of the environment in which they develop.

Biophysics of the Plant Kingdom

Biophysics is a science in which biology and physics converge, thus explaining biological processes complicated with physical phenomenon. In 1920, it questioned because biological systems do not follow the second law of thermodynamics but in a world where entropy never decreases, two cells could form an organism fully organized. Furthermore, Schrödinger wrote his book called What is Life, which form many, was the beginning of

Biophysics is present in each of the existing living beings, one of the most complex kingdoms is the plant, which has proven to have an infinite variety of permutations, and so studying it completely is almost impossible. Biophysics in plants is consider

In short, a plant formed of a root, a stem and leaves. The root absorbs nutrients from the soil through a permeable membrane, the stem is responsible for transport by microscopic tubes and the leaves are responsible for photosynthesis through a complex system of chromophores for the exchange of gases. The simple biophysical model of a plant is expressed as a capillary tube, with one end submerged in a solution delimited by a selective membrane and the opposite end in free contact with the atmosphere.

Due to osmosis, when there is a difference in gradient the water and nutrients flow from the root to the highest point of the plant where there will always be the lowest concentration of solutes. Due to the gradient, the plant will have moments of imbalance so through physiological mechanisms of the plant; roots adapt to rebalance the natural state of the plant.

At microscopic scales, the vibrations emitted by electrons make it possible to recognize any substance. These vibrations are fingerprints and are thus a highly reliable factor in scientific and industrial matters. Kyminasi Plant Booster recognizes each frequency emitted by the plants and intervenes resonance reaching the optimal frequency thus giving biological balance.

 Biological balance allows plants to develop in a healthy way, without stress and with better results in quality and quantity, all this in an organic and sustainable way.

Use of Sound Wave Technology on Water Tomato Scarcity

Use of Sound Wave Technology on Water Tomato Scarcity

Tomato (Solanum Lycopersicum), with annual global production of around 182.3 million tons, is the second top worldwide produced vegetable, also is among the most popular vegetable produced in the United States of America (USA) where the topmost producers are Indiana, Florida, and California, besides the tomatoes being sold in the fresh vegetable markets, a large portion of the tomatoes is processed as sauces, paste, canned whole tomatoes, ketchup, and juice.

California State produces 255,388 thousand centum weight of tomatoes each year consequently, it is the highest producer of tomatoes in the USA and among the highest tomato producers in the world. More specifically, approximately one-third of the world’s tomatoes and 95% of the United States’ tomatoes are produced in California.

Tomato is not a very tolerant plant in response to many abiotic stress conditions and its growth and productivity are limited by unfavorable environmental conditions such as drought and salinity (Dong et al. 2020). Drought stress causes many adverse effects including negative leaf water balance, turgor loss, chlorophyll degradation, and down-regulation of photosynthesis through affecting stomatal functioning and restricting the supply of carbon dioxide (Zhou et al. 2017). Cell enlargement, leaf expansion, root and shoot development, dry matter partitioning, and consequently yield are also negatively influenced by drought stress (Farooq et al. 2009). Up to the present, a great number of investigations have been conducted to develop strategies to help plants to cope with drought stress (Aliniaeifard and Van Meeteren 2016a, b; Lastochkina et al. 2019; Khan et al. 2020).

In California, there were no major issues during planting, but higher than average temperatures in late spring affected early crop yields. Inconsistent weather patterns throughout the growing season prompted short interruptions in the flow of ripe tomatoes. Wildfires that raged through the state in late summer and early fall slowed the processing of tomato harvest. Crop quality varied by region and disease pressure was low. Due to a lack of rain, water availability continued to be a concern.
Approximately 90% of California tomatoes are grown in groundwater sub-basins (Fig. 1) that are classified as high priority or critically over-drafted. Restrictions on groundwater pumping under Sustainable Groundwater Management Act will increase competition for water, which increases the cost of water to growers in those regions and increases tomato production costs by USD 75 to USD 235 per acre, or 3% to 7%, depending on production region.

The processing tomato industry requires a material with favorable dry matter content to keep the cost of water evaporation as low as possible during the preparation of the pulp. The main fraction of this dry matter content in tomato fruits comprise the soluble solids content, expressed in °Brix it is highly influenced by the natural or artificial water supply If there are no reduce costs market prices would vary by region, which would affect crops that could be profitably irrigated.

Research developed on the effect of water stress on tomato plants reported that it had no effects on acidity levels and Total Solids Suspended. Saito et al. (2008) reported that the °Brix value increased in tomatoes under salt stress and, tricarboxylic acid levels of stress-treated fruit was also 1.6 times higher than that of the control and would affect the total acidity of tomato fruit. Mitchell et al. (1991) reported that the water-soluble solid content increased in tomato plants that were grown in limited water conditions because when water was scarce, the organic soluble dry substance synthesis and accumulation increased.

 

Figure1. Map of water scarcity across the California state and zones with different drought intensity. The location of most tomato production and processors is in the San Joaquin Valley in water-stressed areas. (Adapted from: https://www.farmwater.org/cfwc-blog/ and https://droughtmonitor.unl.edu/)

Both under- and over-irrigation can cause inadequacy in crop yield to find the optimal water supply level can save water and may provide yield quantity and quality. Lowers levels of water stress can affect yields positively thus, measuring and monitoring water stress is the key to its control and the appropriate amount the plants should be exposed to can enhance the production of desirable compounds that make it healthier for consumers and profitable for producers.

In our experience fields irrigated under the effects of Kyminasi Plant Booster technology show a reduction in water use and better rates of infiltration. From November 2020 a field in Paine – Chile was irrigated and monitored with soil moisture capacitance sensors, previous information about the rate of water infiltration was 40 centimeters in 12 hours; now under the effect of Kyminasi Plant Booster technology the rate of water infiltration is 100 centimeters in 10 hours, showing a three-time more quick water infiltration rate with 66% of water-saving.

Figure 2. Water infiltration results: on the upper (A) graph the previous conditions low and slow infiltration rate, bottom graph (B) show faster and deep infiltration rate after Kyminasi Plant Booster technology use

Climate change scenarios predict restriction in water supply shortly, but large parts of the world already suffer from the deficiency of water in agriculture as we show in other publications plants perceive sound waves as a type of external signal similar to biotic or abiotic stress stimuli, the response to such stimuli is the biosynthesis of secondary metabolites, including ascorbic acid, flavonoids, and other compounds that may have protective effects (i.e., antioxidant or antimicrobial occupations). The concentrations of these compounds increased in response to external stimuli such as light, ultraviolet radiation, temperature, ozone, heavy metals, and drought conditions (Mierziak. et.al 2014., Lim et.al 2017).

Although the use of the Kyminasi Plant Booster technology does not prevent or allow to control the damage caused by extreme environmental events due to water scarcity or climate change it has demonstrated effects on water use related directly to production per plant with higher quality in terms of dissolved solids content.
Kyminasi Plant Booster provides producers of Tomato and other important crops in agriculture clean and safe use technology with the low environmental impact that improves cycling and availability of nutrients in the soil, reduces the use of water for irrigation, and strengthens the resistance of the plants against stress factors, enhance chemical-free production systems, with better phytosanitary conditions that represent health benefits for consumers and better income for producers.
