interesting music plant growth

  • Plants do like noise. Plants exposed to a set frequency of sound tend to germinate more quickly, grow taller and weigh more than those kept in silence. Both 50,000 hz ultrasound (above the human hearing range) and 5,000 hz sound seem to work. Therefore, there's a good chance that plants like any sound you might play for them, including music.
  • Plants also like good, attentive care. If you are playing music you like for a plant, it may lead you to take better care of it. You will be more likely to carefully water and feed the plant and make sure it has good light. It might look like the music helps the plant grow, when you are actually taking better care of it. Plants like carbon dioxide. If you are standing by a plant, singing to it, it is going to absorb some carbon dioxide from your breath. This could help it to grow more quickly.

      The plants were actually trying to avoid the music because it stunts their growth! That is incredible!!!
  • with the same song played by strings, the plants bent towards the speaker.

      Strings as opposed to drums and steel percussion. It seems like that is more appealing to humans as well

  • The plants showed no reaction at all to country and western music
  • the plants "liked" the jazz that she played them
  • leaned 30 to 70 degrees away from the speakers
  • The plants in the first chamber, with the constant tone, died within fourteen days.
  • Her first experiment was to simply play a constant tone
  • In the chamber with the soothing music, the plants were growing healthily and their stems were starting to bend towards the radio! In the rock chamber, half the plants had small leaves and had grown gangly, while the others were stunted. After two weeks, the plants in the soothing-music chamber were uniform in size, lush and green, and were leaning between 15 and 20 degrees toward the radio. The plants in the rock chamber had grown extremely tall and were drooping, the blooms had faded and the stems were bending away from the radio.

Essential Plant Nutrients - 1 views

  • Plants require 13 mineral nutrient elements for growth
  • Macronutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, calcium, magnesium and sulfur) are plant nutrients required in the largest amount in plants. Micronutrients (iron, copper, manganese, zinc, boron, molybdenum and chlorine) are required in relatively smaller amounts. Additional mineral nutrient elements which are beneficial to plants but not necessarily essential include sodium, cobalt, vanadium, nickel, selenium, aluminum and silicon

      Nutrients (in the soid) are needed either in large amounts (macronutrients), medium amounts (micronutrients), or in trace amounts

  • Five types of deficiency or toxicity symptoms are observed:

      Here are the visible signs if the soil does not have enough of or too much of a nutrient.

      Plants can be damaged is there is too much of one nutrient (toxicity) or not enough of a nutrient (deficiency).
  • A nutrient deficiency occurs when the nutrient is not in sufficient quantity to meet the needs of the growing plant. Nutrient toxicity occurs when a plant nutrient is in excess and decreases plant growth or quality
  • Essential plant nutrients: their relative amounts in plants, functions and classification

      This table may be helpful in determining a topic for an experiment. You would only want to choose one nutrient with which to run an experiment.

      This table will be very helpful as a visual aid for determining if your experiment is functioning properly. Remember, you can only experiment on one nutrient at a time.

    This page deals with the nutrients required for plant survival and plant growth. As well as the substances which are hazardous to plant growth and what complications can arise when these complications occur.

    certain electrolytes allow nutrients to move through the plant cell membrane, possibly allowing for quicker growth which could be essential for a plants survival if it needs to grow faster than a weed or something harmful to it.
