Subtle Agroecologies
plants follows the same progression in reverse, decreasing with the distance from the scattering
device, from 50% at 20 m to 0% at 80 m. Mortality increased linearly with distance, from 5% at
20 m to 20% at 80 m. The most reliable parameter here is the evolution of mortality, which had a
narrower confdence interval and showed a more signifcant trend. However, the tendency for symptoms to decrease with distance from the device is clearly identifable, particularly through linear
regression of the data.
CONCLUSION
Through these case studies, we have observed the effects of the diffusion of the sound sequences
designed by Genodics on plant production results as the following:
• a signifcant decrease in mortality linked to the vine fungus Esca (between 50% and 70%);
• a reduction in the proliferation of Mildew on grapes by a factor of 6;
• a reduction in virulence in the case of Mosaics on courgettes;
• a signifcant reduction in the number of second-grade endives, by a factor of 2, through the
prevention of Erwinia.
Our experiments demonstrated that within a certain range, the effect of proteodies on plants is proportional to the duration of the broadcast and the power of the sound. This second factor diminishes
with the distance from the loudspeaker, resulting in an effect gradient which can be measured.
In the case of Mildew on grapes and Mosaic on courgettes, a spatial gradient of the effect of
genodic sequences was noted, while in the case of endives, there was a temporal gradient. This
corroborates observations made elsewhere in the feld with regard to distance from the diffusion
apparatus and diffusion duration. The results are consistent with the characterisation of the effects
obtained with this process, over a large number of repeated measurements and several models. These
results, in addition to those obtained during the validation of Sternheimer’s patent, 1 provide elements
that validate the concept developed by Sternheimer and the applications that have followed on since.
This observation is further supported by recent experiments conducted on human cancer cell
cultures, published in 2018, during which the assay of the protein specifcally targeted by the acoustic sequences was carried out (Orhan & Gulbahar, 2016). Further, plant culture and target protein
assays under the conditions of application of the genodic process have recently been implemented
in the ERRMECe laboratory at the University of Cergy-Pontoise, Paris (CERGY, 2017). These
results, which largely concur with those of this study, were published in September 2020 (Prevost
et al., 2020).
The cases presented here represent only a portion of the applications developed by Genodics.
The other applications have not benefted from as exhaustive and precise monitoring as the studies
cited here, and some applications did not succeed, either because their results were inadequate to be
economically interesting or for reasons independent of Genodics’ activity. This study demonstrates
the effectiveness of chemical-input-free methods for crop protection and support.
