China field trials: mineral-treated irrigation boosts crop yields up to 100%

Chinese scientists report large-scale field trials across provinces from Heilongjiang to Hainan showing that irrigation water treated with sunlight-radiated natural minerals increased yields of rice, wheat, soybeans, and other crops by up to 100%, attributed to improved photosynthetic efficiency. The claim is based on the researchers' own study, with no independent verification or peer-reviewed publication cited. If replicated, this could have significant implications for global food security and agricultural productivity, but the mechanism and reproducibility remain uncertain.
