She points out a 300 per cent increase in growth in the tops and roots of wheat stalks, and says the experiments have yet to show whether the oscillator will increase the yield of grain. She says the experiments are based on similar work with rice in India. Footage shows Weinberger and another woman handling wheat stalks while an oscillator emits a shrill sound. <100s>Language:EnglishOriginal number:CB71819Notes:Detailed holdings information: -
