While this has been an argument over the years, it has been agreed upon that music does have an effect on plant growth. In 1962, an Indian botanist named................ conducted an experiment by exposing plants to music. His tests showed that the plant's height was 20 percent higher than normal. It also increased in biomass.

Also in America, a woman who owned a green house exposed her plants to different types of music and saw that the plant's did respond to it, albeit not always positively. Another man, elsewhere in the USA was skeptical but also tried it. He saw that his crops grew bigger and thicker and had better produce because of it.

Thus it led to the belief that music causes vibrations in the cells of the plant which stimulate production of nutrients within those cells and cause a more rapid growth. But these fell under a certain range as the woman who exposed her plants to different kinds of music noted that the plant's grew well when exposed to classical music but could not handle to vibrations produced by rock music and so died.

While some still dispute these experiments, it is fast getting accepted and may soon be an agricultural law
