A method for electrosignaling to obtain higher crop yield from non-reproductive vegetative stage young plant seedlings engaged in photosynthesis. A short time precisely specified mandatory dual wavelength distribution illumination signal comprising Medium Wavelength Infrared (MWIR) and an Ultraviolet Illumination Distribution (UVID) is administered to the plant with precise ranges of limited extent for irradiance values and cumulative deposited energies. A one-time 10-second exposure of soybean seedlings to the illumination signal improved crop yield by up to 20%. Preferred embodiments include a moveable cultivator to provide the electrosignaling on an agricultural field, as well as a field so treated. The method inducing this electrosignaling effect does not take place during typical illumination, such as illuminating to supplement sunlight or grow light.
