"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

-Louder music, like rock music, can produce too much pressure and end up hurting the plants

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.]]> 2018-02-02 18:39:21 UTC https://padlet.com/53767/wc82bg0cpksj/wish/227625187 549521 https://padlet.com/53767/wc82bg0cpksj/wish/227628436 2018-02-02 18:46:28 UTC https://padlet.com/53767/wc82bg0cpksj/wish/227628436 53767 https://padlet.com/53767/wc82bg0cpksj/wish/227635299 -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]]> 2018-02-02 19:01:41 UTC https://padlet.com/53767/wc82bg0cpksj/wish/227635299 549521 https://padlet.com/53767/wc82bg0cpksj/wish/227795626 -Electronic oscillators are used in other technology for their frequency output including radio, television, computers, and video games
