You can buy a ionizer for less than $10 on aliexpress and it might be less electrically dangerous.
However - DON'T DO IT. Many ionizers generate ozone which is unhealthy.

It's not a simply equation though, eg https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230319729_The_effects_of_stubble_burning_and_tillage_on_soil_carbon_sequestration_and_crop_productivity_in_Southeastern_Australia https://www.researchgate.net/publication/230319729_The_effec....
