What is the wonderful relationship between plants and music?

There is a music area in the brain of animals, which can feel the effects of music and respond to music. It is easy to understand. However, research by scientists has shown that plants that are considered "ignorant and heartless" without hearing can actually appreciate music. Not only these, sometimes plants can have wonderful effects after listening to music, and can also promote the growth of these plants.

A French scientist accidentally discovered that beautiful music can replace fertilizers to increase crop yields. In the farmland surrounding his acoustics lab, crops grow lusher the closer they are to the lab. For the same vegetable variety, the vegetables next to the laboratory are large and thick, while the vegetables far away are relatively small and thin. He asked the farmer if the fertilizer was applied unevenly, and the farmer shook his head. When he returned to the laboratory, he turned on the stereo and a beautiful piece of music was immediately transmitted. He wondered if music stimulated the growth of crops? He felt compelled to give it a try. So, he found a farmer to cooperate with him, put headphones on a tomato growing on a trellis, and played music to it every day, an average of 3 times a day, for a total of 3 hours. Unexpectedly, this tomato grew so fast that it suddenly grew to 2,000 grams, which is as big as a small pumpkin. Without headphones, the tomato was average in size.

There is also an Indian scientist who likes to play the violin and play symphonies in the garden. As time passed, I discovered that the flowers and trees in his garden were growing particularly vigorously. So he began to formally experiment with rice. He plays a symphony for 25 minutes every day in a rice field. One month later, it was discovered that the rice in this field grew more luxuriantly than the same rice field that had not heard music, with the average plant height exceeding 30 centimeters.

There is a tree that can listen to music growing in Xishuangbanna. When people play music next to a tree, the branches of the tree will sway with the rhythm of the music. The branches and leaves on the treetop will twist their limbs and wrists like a Dai girl in dance, making 180° movements with the music. Turn. When the music stopped, Xiaoshu, like an experienced dancer, immediately stopped dancing and became quiet. So some people began to make detailed observations about this "music tree": when light music or lyrical songs were played, the little tree danced more vigorously, the music became more beautiful, and the dance became more graceful; but when a loud march played, or Let the little tree listen to some kind of noisy or deafening sound, and the little tree's "dance" will stop immediately.

This is because the stomata on the surface of the plant will increase due to the sound waves of the music, which promotes the life activities of the plant. The enlarged stomata are conducive to the entry and exit of carbon dioxide, oxygen and water, which enhances photosynthesis and transpiration. Different plants are sensitive to music at different frequencies. The higher the frequency, the better the stimulation effect. After scientists study the optimal sound frequencies of plants, they then stimulate different plants with different ultrasonic waves to achieve high yields.

But everything has a limit. If too strong sound waves are used on plants, not only will there be no benefit, but they will be harmful to the plants. Too strong sound waves will cause plant cells to rupture and even cause necrosis. Noise is also very destructive to plants. Therefore, American scientists conducted an experiment on this. He prepared 20 kinds of flowers and divided them equally into two groups. Place one group in a noisy environment and the other in a quiet environment. Observation and comparison were then conducted, and the results showed that for flowers placed in a noisy environment, the impact of noise slowed the growth of the flowers by about 40% on average. People have also found that near jet airports with noise levels above 140 decibels, crop yields are always low, and many crops may even wither. The same principle applies.
