Observations in Vegetable Fields With and Without Line-of-Sight Exposure to 5G within First Year of Introduction

Abstract

This report presents a passive comparison of biodiversity and agricultural conditions between an area with direct exposure to beam-formed transmissions from fifth-generation mobile communications system (5G) antennas and an area without direct exposure, both temporally (2023 without transmissions versus 2024 with transmissions) and spatially (exposed expanse of fields versus fields sheltered by houses and satoyama groves in 2024). Though other factors existed that could impact biodiversity, clear differences could be identified in many species and crops in the comparisons made. These were particularly notable in voles, moderately large frogs, dragonflies and butterflies, with body sizes similar to one of the newly introduced 5G transmission wavelengths of 6.6 cm. Very small flying insects such as mosquitoes, flies and aphids also appeared to be impacted by the newly introduced 5G transmissions as did crop yield (pollination and other causes) and plant viability. Particularly affected crops included nightshades and cucurbits, especially in elevated locations, such as on trellises. There was a tendency to grow strongly, start bearing fruit and then wither before the fruit could mature. Some other crops such as legumes and sweet potatoes benefitted, seemingly from decreased numbers of rodent and insect pests. Since coherence of radiofrequency transmissions has been noted before as an important factor in the severity of effects from radiofrequency radiation, the satoyama environment, with its patchwork of groves, noted before for promoting biodiversity, may provide some protection by blocking direct exposure to beam-formed microwave transmissions in certain areas. The possibility should be investigated that this is a result of decreased coherence of the radiation that penetrates. Shielding of plants by dense foliage of other plants in the irradiated area appeared to improve crop yield and plant viability. The author recommends taking these observations into account when siting radiating infrastructure to preserve biodiversity and viability of small-scale mixed-crop gardening, which contributes important nutrition to the human diet.

I will post a link to the full report with photos, tables and figures after I figure out how to upload it. In the meantime I can send a pdf to anyone requesting it.

I will post updates on the situation and respond to comments here. Two points worth mentioning now:
1) The dusky thrushes (Turdus eunomus), a formerly prominent winter species throughout Japan from October to early May, failed to show up this year, except one pair I encounter occasionally that keeps to the satoyama groves (it was always an open-land rice paddy forager).
2) The enormous sweet potatoes we harvested from the directly exposed field turned out to be rotten on the inside. I don't know whether the commercial operator next to our field had the same result--they only send around hired help.
