Morphological Attributes and Yield of Momordica charantia (Bitter Gourd) Under the Application of Spiritual Blessing/Biofield Energy Treatment (BET)

ObjectiveBitter gourd (Momordica charantia L.) is a widely consumed vegetable.This study aimed to assess the impact of spiritual blessing (biofield) energy treatment (S/BET) known as the Trivedi Effect on a plant's growth and yield when applied to both seeds and soil. MethodsSeeds were split into two groups: an untreated control group (CONBIGG) and a BET-group (BTBIGG).Soil texture was checked by hand, and mineral contents were measured using standard procedures.An experienced scholar noted plant morphological, phenological, and yield-related parameters. ResultsThe S/BET group showed improvements in stem length, fruit colour, and seediness compared to the control.Other phenological parameters, such as vine length (38.78 %; p 0.001), branch number (54.03 %; p 0.01), inter-nodal length (42.94 %; p 0.001), fruit length (33.27 %; p 0.001), seed length (40.32 %; p 0.001), seeds per fruit (52.50 %; p 0.001), and fruits per vine (66.88 %; p 0.001), were significantly increased in the BTBIGG group compared to the CON-BIGG.Yield per hectare rose by 61.31 % in the S/BET group compared to the control. ConclusionThe study results suggest that the spiritual blessing/prayers/BET-Trivedi Effect significantly improved morphological, phenological, and yield-related parameters compared to the control group.This study provides useful scientific research data and information for producing stable, high-quality bitter gourds.
