Plants also like to listen to music? This is indeed the case. Many scientists have demonstrated this problem through experiments.
There is a scientist who plays music for 25 minutes every morning for a plant called Gingergrass, and then observes the flow of protoplasm in its leaves under a microscope. It was found that the protoplasm moves quickly when music is played, and returns to its original state as soon as the music stops. He conducted the same experiment with mimosa flowers. The mimosa that hears music is 1.5 times taller than the mimosa that does not hear music under the same conditions, and the leaves and thorns are full.
Other scientists also discovered an interesting phenomenon during the experiment: plants like to listen to classical music, but do not like jazz music very much. American scientist Smith played "Rhapsody in Blue" music to soybeans. After 20 days, the weight of soybeans listening to music every day was one-quarter higher than that of soybeans listening to music.
It seems that plants do have an active "spiritual life". Relaxing music can make plants feel happy and encourage them to thrive. On the contrary, noisy noises can cause annoyance to plants and slow down their growth. Some "mentally fragile" plants may even wither and die under severe noise attacks.
Plants can indeed be infected by music, provided the music suits their taste. The music of Bach or Bedouin can make a withered rose or a shriveled radish look fresh and strong again, but crazy rock music will kill them. Experiments in the United Kingdom and the United States have proven that if shoots often grow with music, the root system and chlorophyll will increase.
Discovered by American botanist George Smith. Corn and soybeans germinate particularly well after "listening" to Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue". Pumpkins prefer Haydn and Brahms, while melons prefer Schubert. His roses were obsessed with the 61st movement of Beethoven's Violin Concerto in D major, while the cacti considered Stravinsky their superstar. Experiments with petunia flowers showed that they liked the works of Bach, "Duke" Ellington, and Louis Armstrong. Heavy metal rock music cannot win the hearts of potted flowers. Instill this rhythm of pounding into the petunia, and its leaves will soon droop and die in four weeks at the latest.
British scientist John Longstaff fed opera, concertos and other classical music to vegetables in his garden in London. He said: "They do grow faster than the vegetables in the neighbor's garden, and they taste better." His popular list is: carrots, kale and potatoes like to "listen" to the music of Verdi and Wagner, while cabbage, peas And lettuce grows best when "appreciating" the works of Mozart and Rossini. Only red beet is indifferent to everything. They seem to have no sense of music.
Music can cultivate people's spiritual feelings, and beautiful melodies can encourage cows to be more productive. There are many examples of this. Therefore, biologists and botanists are interested in whether plants can sense the rhythm of music. Through experiments, they confirmed that plants also have some kind of extrasensory perception and can move their bodies freely and enjoy music like some animals.
When a flower farmer in Milwaukee, USA was playing music in the greenhouse, he was surprised to find that the flowers sprouted earlier and bloomed more lushly and brightly than before, and they lasted for a long time.
There was a farmer in Ontario, Canada, who played Bach's violin sonata in the wheat field. As a result, the wheat field achieved a high yield, with the yield increased by more than 60%, and the grains were large and solid.
Joe Smith, an agronomist from Illinois, USA, planted corn and soybeans in the greenhouse, and then played "Rhapsody in Blue" continuously. Soon, he discovered that the crops that had listened to music had stronger stems than those that had not. After that, he continued to play classical music and modern music on a piece of hybrid corn experimental field, and insisted on playing it from sowing to harvesting. As a result, the experimental field harvested more than 700 liters of corn than other fields. Moreover, the corn that listened to the music grew faster and matured. Early, the particles are uniform in size.
Scientists speculate that the plant's response is due to the rhythmic vibration of the plant's body caused by the sound waves of the music, and this low-frequency vibration stimulates the plant's body. The rate of cell division in the plant accelerates the growth process. For example, playing rock music causes some plants to wither or even die.
Currently, plant physiologists are conducting in-depth field studies on how different plants respond to different music melodies. induction, what is the appropriate frequency, and whether the needs for music are the same in different growth stages.
