Response of Music Towards Ornamental Plants – A Review

Abstract

Music can trigger a range of emotions in humans and other animals. It also has some beneficial effects on plant growth. Music is
regarded as one of the triggers to which plants are known to respond. Plants respond to different types of music. They grow well when
exposed to certain kinds of music, whereas there may have stunted growth with another type of music. This may differ depending on
the kind of plant species also. It could be said that noise inhibited plant growth and development, whereas music encouraged it, even
germination. Certain audible and musical frequencies aid the plant in improving physiological processes, including nutrient absorption,
increased protein content, etc. This is evident in the plant’s growth in terms of height, number of leaves, and general development and
health. Some scientific researchers have proved that the growth of plants can be influenced by music and the farmers can use this for
better growth of plants
