Sustainable agronomy is increasingly examining non-chemical and subtle energy interventions to enhance crop vigor and overall biological potential. This study aimed to evaluate the morphological characteristics and fruit yield of Yellow Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.) subjected to Spiritual Blessings Energy Treatment (SBET) compared to an untreated control. A comparative field experiment was conducted using treated and untreated yellow zucchini seed sets cultivated under same soil composition and irrigation regimes. Vegetative growth indicators including plant height, stem diameter, number of leaves per plant, and days to 50% flowering were recorded at set physiological intervals. Harvest parameters, including total number of fruits per plant, mean individual fruit mass, average fruit length and diameter, and cumulative yield per plot, were evaluated at maturity. Plants exposed to the SBET exhibited pronounced enhancements in vegetative architecture compared to the control group. Treated zucchini plants demonstrated a significant increase of number of nodes, leaf length, and leaf width by 37.28% (p ≤ 0.001), 27.66% (p ≤ 0.001), and 20.59% (p ≤ 0.001), respectively, compared to the untreated group. Harvest data indicated a statistically notable increase in overall crop performance, characterized by higher fruit weight, fruit diameter, seed length, seed width, and overall increase in total fruit yield per hectare by 28.57%, p = 0.010), (30.85%, p ≤ 0.001), (29.09%, p ≤ 0.001), (34.78%, p = 0.002), and 14.30%, respectively, compared to the control. The application of SBET (The Trivedi Effect®) positively influenced both vegetative growth parameters and cumulative crop yield in Yellow Zucchini (Cucurbita pepo L.). These findings suggest the potential utility of blessing energy treatment-based approaches as complementary, non-invasive strategies for crop performance optimization.
