-Ultrasonic tech and music players have been shown to have a positive effect on the growth of plants

-"Dr. T. C. Singh, head of the Botany Department at India's Annamalia University, experimented with the effect of musical sounds on the growth rate of plants. He found that balsam plants grew at a rate that accelerated by 20% in height and 72% in biomass when exposed to music."
-"Dr. T. C. Singh also discovered that seeds that were exposed to music had more leaves, were of greater size, and had other improved characteristics."
-At a Canadian University, researchers found that the speed of growth for wheat crops doubled when they were exposed to high frequency vibrations
-In one experiment, a control group of radishes were grown regularly, and another group of radishes were exposed to 50,000 CPS ultrasound. The results indicated that after 28 days, the plants exposed to ultrasound grew an average of 87% taller than the control group who were not exposed to ultrasound.

-Scientists were able to experiment with ultrasonic plant growth once electronic oscillators were invented; they found that the plant growth became noticeable at frequencies between 20,000 and 50,000 CPS

- Not every type of music will work. "Plants that are exposed to country music have the same reaction as those who are subjected to no sound at all. According to some studies, jazz music appears to have a beneficial effect, producing better and more abundant growth."
- The best technology to use for plant growth is expensive. On average this tech costs around $300

-The vibrations (sound waves) picked up by the plant might speed up the protoplasmic movement in the cells.

-The pressure from sound waves create vibrations that could be picked up by plants. Plants would not "hear" the music, they would feel the vibrations of the sound wave.

-If animals perceive the sound used to accelerate plant growth, it could hurt them
-Louder music, like rock music, can produce too much pressure and end up hurting the plants

-Exposing plants to music and ultrasonic technology could lead to an increase crop production
-With an increasing population, this could be helpful to us as more food would be available
-It may not be practical for large crop production, because a lot of crops are grown outside where it would be hard to use the technology
-However, it is easier to build a smaller ultrasound generator with less expensive materials for growing smaller amounts of plants

-Electronic oscillators are used in other technology for their frequency output including radio, television, computers, and video games
-Ultrasonic technology has most commonly been used for medical ultrasounds in hospitals and doctors offices
-The first music player was the phonograph, invented in 1877, and music players has been continuing to advance ever since

-Some scientists believe the sound waves act as a catalyst for producing hormones (called auxins) in the plant, accelerating its growth.
