A study was directed to find the impact of devotional music on plants. It is believed that sound stimulates the germination of mung bean seeds.
Plant shoot length, root length, leaf count, green weight, and dry weight could be enhanced by 19.11 per cent, 36.37 per cent, 32.43 per cent, 52.19 per cent, and 33.91 per cent, respectively, with the application of devotional music at 85±5 dB for 3 hours per day. The crop yield measured in the number of seeds produced and the total weight of the seeds produced increased by 131.25 per cent and 159.46 per cent, respectively, when treated with devotional music at 85±5 dB for 3 hours per day. It was found that exposure of the plants to devotional music could enhance their metabolic activities, resulting in higher growth and yield.
