Electro-culture was rediscovered in the 1770s by a French farmer, freemason, and naturalist who experimented on watering plants with electrified water. In 1771 he reported on his findings that the germination of seeds and the sprouting of bulbs was quicker than traditional methods. Additionally, he noted that the electrified plants grew much bigger and that they developed new roots & branches during the Fall season (something that typically doesn't happen).

In 1783, the French farmer named Bernard-Germain-Étienne de La Ville-sur-Illon, comte de Lacépède or La Cépède published a book called De l’électricité des vegetaux (The Electrification of Vegetables) which included the description of the first electrocultural tool. The system consisted of copper rugs placed in the soil that serves as antennas for the ambient ethereal energy surrounding.

In 2021, the journal nature reported on a Chinese group using electroculture. The researchers saw a significant reduction in the requirements of fertilizers and pesticides, as well as a 40% increase in yield.
