Does Music Affect Plant Growth?

Many say that playing music for plants speeds up their growth.

Is this a or another hearsay. Do plants react when we play music? Is there an advantage of playing music while planting? Some researchers claim that playing music to plants helps them grow quicker. Aside from this, plants are healthier and robust. An Indian botanist conducted several experiments in the year 1962. He experimented with plants and music. In his research, he found out that some plants grew faster with the presence of music. Aside from this the plants exposed to music has a greater volume than those not exposed. A greenhouse owner from Colorado also conducted an experiment involving plants and Music. She played different genres of music to different varieties of plants. Her observation was, plants exposed to heavy metal rock died faster. While plants exposed to classical music are more likely to grow longer and healthier. A person from Illinois was doubtful that plants react to music. He also engaged in some experiments involving plants and music. Astoundingly, he discovered that soy and corn plants exposed to music were healthier. He was happy since it resulted in a better harvest.

The Effect of Music on Plant Growth

 
Vibrations, according to some Canadian researchers are the ones affecting the plant. Plants exposed to high frequency vibrations resulted to greater harvests. We ask the question of how does music affects the growth of plants? To better understand this it’s the vibration and not the sound created by music. The vibrations from the sound waves of music are the ones affecting the plants. How is this possible? Further studies have shown that vibrations process movement in its cells. This stimulates the plant to make more food they need. With the help of these sound waves nutrients are faster to produce. It was earlier mentioned that plants negatively react to rock music. Vibrations produced by these types of music can produce great pressure. This high pressure are not good for some plants.
 
For some Researchers, like those at the University of California. They try not to conclude that this is true yet. For them there is no scientific evidence to claim this. They believe that more scientific study is required. They took to consideration other factors such as lighting, moisture and soil composition. They claim that plants exposed to music develop well. The ones planting may be happily planting while listening to music. Because of this the plants receive tender loving care and more attention from those who planted them.
