本研究目的為研究一筆畫能量藝術作品對萵苣和小白菜的生長及生理影響。此研究總共使用四種處理方式：1）對照組（無任何能量相關處理）; 2）能量藝術; 3）能量水; 4）能量藝術+能量水。對於能量藝術的處理，是在整個成長過程中將五張能量藝術作品直接放置在水耕栽培的容器之下，直至採收。對於能量水的處理，將自來水放入容器中並放置在能量藝術作品前面約50cm 處的地板上7 天，然後將這種“能量水”用於水耕栽培系統之中。 以研究成果而言，能量藝術+能量水處理所栽培出的萵苣及小白菜，在葉子和根部生長部分都有著明顯大於其它處理的結果，相較於其它處理的葉數、葉鮮重、葉乾重與葉面積皆有顯著，表示在處理上植物與植物間生長的明顯差距。 此次研究，在能量藝術處理所栽培的萵苣，檢測到最高值的葉綠素a、總葉綠素含量和類胡蘿蔔素，其顯著值高於對照組生長的萵苣；而能量水處理所生長的小白菜，也檢測到葉綠素和類胡蘿蔔素含量顯著高於其它所有處理。研究發現，暴露於三組能量處理中的任何一項時，萵苣及小白菜的光合作用效率得到顯著改善。基於以上結果，用能量藝術和能量水所處理的水耕栽培萵苣和白菜，可以視為提高植物生長速率和產量的替代方法。 The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of One-stroke Energy Art pieces on the growth and physiology of lettuce and bok choy plants. A total of four treatments was tested: 1) control (no energy art); 2) energy art; 3) energized water; 4) energy art + energized water. Five energy art pieces were placed directly under the planting container of the hydroponics system throughout the entire growing period. For the energized water treatment, water was put in a container and placed on the floor about 50 cm in front of an energy art piece for 7 days. This ’energized water’ was then used in the hydroponic system. Overall, both the lettuce and bok choy plants cultivated in the energy art + energized water treatment were significantly larger in terms of leaf and root growth than those in the other treatments. Clear differences in the vegetative growth of these plants can be seen from the significantly higher number of leaves, leaf fresh dry mass, leaf dry mass, and leaf area than those grown in the other treatments. Furthermore, the highest chlorophyll a, total chlorophyll content, and carotenoids were detected in lettuces cultivated in the energy art treatment, which were significantly higher than those grown in the control. The chlorophyll and carotenoid contents of bok choy plants grown in energized water were significantly higher than all the other treatments. Moreover, the photosynthetic efficiency of the lettuce and bok choy plants exposed to any of the three energy treatments were improved significantly. Based on these results, hydroponically-grown lettuce and bok choy plants treated with both energy art and energized water can be used as an alternative approach to improve plant growth rate and yield.
