    Because bamboo is a sustainable option vs regular tree wood, I'm interested in what conditions (nutritional or environmental) would better improve the growth. This article gives statistics and extra information about bamboo

music effect plant growth rock classical

  • The one that was in the best condition was the plant that was in the room with classical music. The second best plant was the one in the room with no music and the one that didn't do so good was the one in the room with rock music.
  • and Rap was last!

      Interesting. Maybe because of all the drum effects it would cause the plants to be unsettled?

interesting music plant growth

shared by emily shy on 13 Apr 10 - Cached
  • 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.

plant hormones

shared by Pascale Michelon on 11 Apr 10 - Cached
  • (Table 5)
  • Hormones are produced naturally by plants, while plant growth regulators are applied to plants by humans

      This is interesting because it shows you that if you want to manipulate hormones in an experiment you can use plant growth regulators to mimic the action of hormones.
  • ...3 more annotations...
  • There are five groups of plant-growth-regulating compounds: auxin, gibberellin (GA), cytokinin, ethylene, and abscisic acid (ABA).
  • Ethylene is unique in that it is found only in the gaseous form. It
  • induces ripening, causes leaves to droop (epinasty) and drop (abscission), and promotes senescence.

      The effects of ethylene (promotion of both aging/death and ripening) may explain why just one bad apple in a basket may spoil the whole bunch.

    Plant hormones and growth regulators are chemicals that affect flowering; aging; root growth; killing of leaves; prevention or promotion of stem elongation; color enhancement of fruit; prevention of leafing and/or leaf fall; etc.
