How Does Music Affect The Growth Rate Of Lepidium Sativum
The Effect of Different Genres of Music on the Growth Rate of Garden Cress
AIM
The purpose of this experiment is to explore upon the possible correlation between musical stimulus and the growth rate of Lepidium sativum, commonly known as Garden Cress. It also aims to discover which genre amongst classical, jazz, and rock has the most beneficial effect on its growth rate.
PERSONAL ENGAGEMENT The Garden Cress plant, better known by its botanical name Lepidium sativum, is amongst the many plants that mean a great deal within the Persian culture. During the Persian New Year called “Norooz”, which is at the beginning of spring, it is customary to decorate a table in the house containing seven items that start with the letter “S”. Amongst these …show more content…
Hence, I wished to expand my knowledge further into a culture from which I have descended from and incorporate it with an art that I am marvelously fond of, which is music. I personally find that most, if not all, educational fields can be linked to one another and am absolutely fascinated from the results produced out of the fusion of unlikely fields such as science and art. During the course of the experiment, I cultivated and attended to the plants myself. After traveling to Iran, I learnt from professional agriculturists how to nurture this plant best and adopted their teachings to my …show more content…
The basal leaves have long petioles and are lyrate-pinnatipartite; the caulinar leaves are laciniate-pinnate while the upper leaves are entire. The inflorescences are in dense racemes. The siliquae measure 5 to 6 x 4 mm, are elliptical, elate from the upper half, and glabrous. It is an allogamous plant with self-compatible and self-incompatible forms and with various degrees of tolerance to prolonged autogamy. There are diploid forms, 2n = 2x = 16, and tetraploid forms, 2n = 4x =32. Cress is a plant that is well suited to all soils and climates, although it does not tolerate frosts. In temperate conditions, it has a very rapid growth rate. It grows sub spontaneously in areas transformed by humans, close to crops or human settlements. The genus Lepidium is made up of about 150 species, distributed throughout almost all temperate and subtropical regions of the world. (Garden cress (Lepidium
