Music Affects The Harvest

Man lives in the world of sounds and music. It is known that music affects our health in different ways: hard rock increases blood pressure, increases heart rate, and classical music, on the contrary, normalizes the work of many systems. And how do plants react to music?

In 2005, on my site, I experimentally checked the information I had encountered earlier that plants "hear" music, and I was convinced that classical music is most preferable for them. Last summer I continued my observations and set myself new tasks:

- to find out the best time for music perception and the optimal duration of "music therapy";

- to reveal the "addictions" of plants to various works;

- to determine the effect on plants after scoring of the homeopathic preparation "Healthy Garden".

In the course of observations, I measured both qualitative and quantitative indicators: the size of the leaf blades, the green mass of plants and the weight of their fruits, the size and mass of the root system; tracked the increase in plant immunity, their "desire" or "unwillingness" to listen to music. Surprisingly, plants themselves can "tell" whether they like this music or not. They either lean towards the sound source or tend to turn away from it.

The conclusions that I came to after summer observations:

Many hours of music, even classical music, oppresses the plants.

The most attractive for "music therapy" are morning (8-10) and afternoon (16-18) hours. At this time, the strongest plant turgor and the most active "response" to the location of the sound were noted.

Sessions of thirty to sixty minutes seemed optimal in terms of duration. Musical preferences turned out to be varied, but the most "popular" among all plants were the works of Antonio Vivaldi "The Seasons", "Spring", as well as the violin sonata by I.-S. Bach's "Spring", lyrically sounding music by Claude Debussy, P. I. Tchaikovsky "The Seasons", "Waltz of the Flowers".

Peppers reacted surprisingly to musical recordings performed by world famous musicians Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington: his composition "Calling the Soul" caused the plants to tilt 15-20 degrees towards the sound source, and the height of the plants was higher than that of the unsonic ones. Pumpkins and zucchini turned out to be partial to Vanessa May's concerts - observations showed that plant height, wet and dry weight, as well as the number of leaves, doubled compared to unsonicated ones.

Tomatoes have shown a love for Strauss waltz, especially the "Vienna Waltz".

Plants practically do not react to songs. Modern "pop music" caused a sharp decrease in the turgor of plants, and they had to be soldered off with a large amount of water, as if they needed to wash away negative information from themselves.

In my life, for various ailments, I very often resort to homeopathic remedies. An idea came up: to test how these drugs work for foliar feeding in plants. It is known that with foliar feeding, liquid preparations enter the leaves through the stomata, with the help of which the plants are connected with the surrounding air environment. But, in turn, for this it is necessary that the leaves of the plants have the maximum number of stomata and they work actively - they are completely open, absorb effectively carbon dioxide and aerosols, water vapor from the surrounding air. Observations have shown that the activation of stomata can be caused by music, and especially violin concerts. Thus, if half an hour before foliar spraying with the homeopathic remedy "Healthy Garden" to conduct a session of "music therapy",then the quality of assimilation of this drug will increase. Observations have shown an increase in the qualitative and quantitative indicators of the crop.

All these experiments and their results prompted me to search for the foundations of sound effects on plants. According to foreign researchers, it is based on a resonant mechanism that contributes to the accumulation of energy and the acceleration of metabolism in the plant organism.

My observations of the increase in water consumption after "negative" music, and especially my acquaintance with the works of the Japanese scientist Masaru Emoto, allowed me to draw some parallels. Plants are 90% water. And water is able to perceive information that is reflected in the structure of its crystal. Masaru Emoto conducted experiments on sounding water and observed its frozen crystals. And he came to some amazing conclusions: under the influence of music, words, water crystals are harmonized or destroyed.

After getting acquainted with his photographs, there is something to think about, and I want to say only kind and good words to all living things, and listen to only positive music.
