Radishes Respond to music
                                   Phillip Chiu, Period 1

Introduction

     The question I will be addressing is "Does music affect radish growth?" This seemed like a good idea to research and experiment on because I wanted to know if a plant could really "hear" or if vibrations through the air, which is sound, really affects the growth of the plant. I will be testing this using different types of music including rock, jazz, and classical music.

The radish (raphanus sativus), a root crops which is very easy to grow.  Radishes are cold hardy but cannot withstand heat.  In the South, they grow in the fall through spring, and in the North, they grow well in the spring or fall.  Some interesting types of radishes I came upon in reading my information were the "Round Black Spanish" and the "Sakurajima Mammoth" radishes.  The Round Black Spanish radishes are black, as their name says, and the Sakurajima Mammoth can grow to be up to 70 pounds! (Doty, 1973)

In my research, I found no information regarding plant growth and music.  I also did not find any information around the subjects of plants hearing, or vibrations that help plants grow.  Therefore I cannot do any more than guess blankly for my hypothesis of this project.  My hypothesis is 'I do not think music will affect plant growth because plants cannot hear.'
