Study on propagation of pulse current discharges in plant tissue

Abstract

This article provides a theoretical description of the propagation of current pulses in plant tissue and the processes of destruction of cellular structures of harmful pathogens in the plant organism. Plants, from the point of view of electricity, are regarded as a well-conductive cable. The peel of the plant is the sheath of the cable, the fire (core) is the electrically conductive conductor. When infected with diseases, the growth of the cellular structure occurs and, as a result, the resistance of the plant tissue decreases. When current is applied, it passes through the circuit with the least resistance and thus provides the lethal effect of harmful microorganisms.
