I use to wrap wire around baby veggie plants to prevent cabbage worms from eating the young plants. This idea has been known for over a century. Healthy plants are not typically attacked by predators. Only the very young, the old and the unhealthy are targeted. Where have you heard that before? I use to plant the seeds in wood chips. The surface layer would absorb heat and would remain loose and dry. I never had to de-weed because of this, and if a weed did sprout, I could easily kick it up with my foot. The wood chips would retain incredible moisture underneath. Because of this I never had to water my garden again. Before knowing about wood chips, I had constantly water the garden. What a difference the wood chips made. All the nutrients and minerals came directly from the decaying wood chips underneath. The trees that the wood chips came from absorbed and pulled up minerals into the root system from deep under the soil. The veggies I grew had all the minerals and nutrients that the tree had. It is well known the best soil to farm is soil that comes from a freshly felled hardwood forest.
I don't know about the electro-magnetism aspect of a wire wrapped around a stick. I think it would be better to wrap a flexible wire around the plant itself. I never had insect infestations because all my veggies were fit as Olympians.

Wood chips and shavings lower the ph of soil and make it more acidic. Good for evergreens but not for a garden
Again is about a good ratio of breakdown of material to create a ecosystem in the soil
