Investigating the Effects of Music on Plant Growth

The video explores the impact of different types of music on plant growth. An experiment is conducted using three greenhouses with tomato plants exposed to classical music, spoken voice, and proteiades, while a control group receives no music. The setup involves identical greenhouses with sound insulation and UV lighting. The concept of proteiades, melodies based on protein vibrations, is explained. After three weeks, the results show that plants exposed to classical music and spoken voice grew similarly, while those exposed to proteiades grew less, suggesting an unexpected effect.
