"The increased rate of growth in terms of more flowers, leaves, buds etc. suggests that specific audible frequencies including music can benefit the agricultural sector by increasing the productivity. Simultaneously, this might reduce the requirement of toxic chemical fertilizers and pesticides and thus, reduce environmental pollution and facilitate the well-being of plants, animals and human beings. There is a wide scope to carry out further research in this interdisciplinary domain wherein physicists, biologists and agricultural engineers can get actively involved to devise a scheme to nurture this green way of agriculture."

What a junk paper. The researcher used something like 5 plants each for test and control, and then wildly interpreted normal growth variations as "the plant tried to bend away" etc.
