Bean seeds, during their initial 4 h of absorption of water while in a Faraday cage, are able to interact mutually with similar absorbing beans in nearby Faraday cages. The interaction effects complementarity of response between adjacent cages to a common, fluctuating environmental factor affecting water uptake.
