Agri-wave technology is composed of both a special frequency sound wave and a microelement fertilizer. In both components, the effect of sound waves on plants is more than that of fertilizers, but the best function is a combination of the two. Treatment by Agri-wave technology stimulated the growth rate and increased the yield of spinach. In small plot tests, the length and width of the treated spinach leaf was 50.8 cm and 20.3 cm, respectively, whereas the untreated leaves were 29.20 cm and 8.9 cm. The fresh weight of treated spinach was 0.42 kg. This was 5.5 times higher than that of the untreated spinach. In large area testing (17 hectares), the results of two tests show that the yields of the treated spinach were increased 22.7% and 22.2% over those of the control group. Sugar content of the treated spinach was increased by 37.5%, vitamin A, C, and B were increased 35.63%, 41.67% and 40.00%, respectively, above the levels of the control group. Niacin content was decreased by 7.69%. Of 33 elements analyzed in the spinach, 29 elements were increased by Agri-wave technology. The spinach was infected with "rot disease" in the control group while there was no disease present in the treated group. In greenhouse testing, the average weight of 3 species of lettuce treated by Agri-wave technology was increased 44.10% over that of the control group (P < 0.0001). The average weight of 3 species of lettuce by only sound and only fertilizer treated separately increased 29.92% and 16.19% above that of the control group (P < 0.0001). Sampling survey results in the field test were comparable to the above mentioned greenhouse test. The fresh weight of treated lettuce by Agri-wave technology was increased 41.67% over that of the control group (P < 0.0001). The fresh weight of treated lettuce by only sound and only fertilizer was increased 30.88% and 19.61%, respectively, over the control group (both P < 0.0001).
农业波技术由一种特殊频率的声波和一种微量元素肥料组成。在这两种成分中，声波对植物的作用大于肥料，但最佳效果是两者结合。采用农业波技术处理可刺激菠菜的生长速度并提高产量。在小区试验中，经处理的菠菜叶片长度和宽度分别为50.8厘米和20.3厘米，而未处理的叶片长度和宽度分别为29.20厘米和8.9厘米。经处理的菠菜鲜重为0.42千克，比未处理的菠菜高出5.5倍。在大面积试验（17公顷）中，两次试验结果表明，经处理的菠菜产量比对照组分别提高了22.7%和22.2%。经处理的菠菜含糖量提高了37.5%，维生素A、C和B分别比对照组提高了35.63%、41.67%和40.00%。烟酸含量下降了7.69%。在对菠菜分析的33种元素中，有29种元素因农业波技术而增加。对照组的菠菜感染了“腐烂病”，而处理组未出现病害。在温室试验中，经农业波技术处理的3种生菜平均重量比对照组增加了44.10%（P<0.0001）。仅用声波和仅用肥料单独处理的3种生菜平均重量分别比对照组增加了29.92%和16.19%（P<0.0001）。田间试验的抽样调查结果与上述温室试验结果相当。经农业波技术处理的生菜鲜重比对照组增加了41.67%（P<0.0001）。仅用声波和仅用肥料处理的生菜鲜重分别比对照组增加了30.88%和19.61%（P均<0.0001）。
