It is known that in many regions in this earth, there are growing concerns on rice and other crops supply stability, while the water supply for irrigation has become more scarce. Part of the problem is that farm lands have been reallocated to other purposes, including housing etc, and other reasons include the technology on farming was quite in stagnation for years. In this regard, studies have shown beneficial effects of laser technology to boost plant growth and especially during seed formation. In this small experiment, we take a look at modeling of such low intensity laser pen interacting with plant leaf, and then we tried to look at how low intensity laser pen actually can improve leaf textures, etc. Not necessarily increased leaf area is the only concern, as quality of leaf shall be more visible after low intensity laser pen treatment. It is our hope that this experiment can be useful in one or other ways especially in the spirit of Masanobu Fukuoka, the father of natural farming.
