Hintermann, K. & P. Basler (1998): Improving des vine growth using alternative methods. Schweizerische Zeitschrift für Obst– und Weinbau 1998/13: 326-329.

Summary:

"Grander, Plocher & Co: ineffective"

Oscillations, magnetism and simila phenomena are offered als alternate methods as well in human medicine as in agriculture, though scientific examinations are scarce. The influence of some "energetic" methods on vine growth was examined at the ETH Zürich:

• A preparation made of living funghi spores (mycorrhiza) is said to improve water and nutrition uptake of the vines, as well as to improve soil density.  
• Stone powder is said to provide plants slowly with nutritional minerals. 
• Grander water is said to possess special magnetic qualities and to transfer them to present casting water. 
• Smaragd powder or elixir is said to support vine growth. For producing the elixir, a stone heated up by the sun is placed into water, which is supposed to be imprinted etherically. 
• Plocher quarz powder is energetically "informed" by a secret procedure and supposed to transfer this informations to the plant via the casting water.

The only effective treatment was the mycorrhiza preparation. It improved the growth of vine shoots in nutritional poor soil. The other examined methods, pretending an information or energy transfer via water, showed no influence, neither on roots nor on shoot growth.

Evaluation:

This test was performed at a well-reputed university by certified experts with proper methods. Grander technology and other "esoteric" methods have no influence on plant growth.
