Do different types of music affects plants growth?
Hi JR, This is a quote from a scientific paper (see link to source below) on the subject… “The perception and response of plants to sound, more specifically music, has been a part of folklore (see Weinberger and Graefe, 1973 ) and the source of inspiration for countless primary and secondary school student science fair projects beginning in the 1940s (Klein and Edsall, 1965 ; personal observation). The influence of music, a complex mixture of notes, tones, amplitudes, and harmonics, on plant growth has been the subject of scientific debate for decades. Singh and Ponniah (1955a , b , 1963 ) reported on the stimulatory influence of music on plant growth in a number of species. Klein and Edsall (1965) reported no influence of a diverse selection of music, from classical to rock and roll, on the growth of Tagetes erecta L. Weinberger and colleagues conducted a number of studies on the influence of both music and single frequency sound, both in the audible and ultrasound range, on plant g
