Garlic Rust and copper wire update?

Hello new to forum so I hope I am doing this correctly. I read something on one of your forums from 2014 about a discussion as to whether inserting a piece of copper wire into garlic plant will prevent rust.  Has anyone actually tried this? If so, was it successful?  I initially heard about this method via information from The Garlic Farm. However when I contacted them for more information I was told that they had no information about anyone using this method.

I remember it being mentioned

but can't remember anyone actually trying it
