Impact of Harmonic Octave Consonants (Classical Musical Notes) on the Discrete Physiognomic Characters and Different Biochemical Aspects in Sweetleaf viz., Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni)

Abstract

(Classical the Characters and Different Biochemical Aspects in Abstract Music is an integral part of our nature and society [1]. The harmonic octave consonants and their frequencies are now-a-days used as a therapy, being popularly called as music therapy. However, the impact of music on our physical and physiological processes of living beings has been acknowledged since ages. Rhythmic and comforting music has an influence on physical and physiological conditions and behavior of living organisms such as humans, plants and animals [2]. According to various studies, Indian Classical music has been confirmed to encourage plant growth positively and it has also been observed to dominate the other important genres of music such as western classical, rock and monotonous sounds [3]. The present research work is aimed at finding the exclusive impact and effect of the harmonic octave consonants and their frequencies in different strings and closed-pipe Indian classical instrumental music displayed through various Ragaas , viz: Raga Kedar (flute), Raga Kedar (santoor), Raga-Rageshree (sitar), Raga- Bhairavi (flute), biochemical aspects in sweet leaf viz., Stevia rebaudiana (Bertoni). The results were surprising as the treated plants showed higher efficacy in terms of both its physiognomic and biochemical aspects as compared to the control plants. The results were depicted here through tabulations and figures. Physiognomic parameters like plant height, number of leaves per plant, leaf lamina length, leaf lamina breadth, leaf texture, leaf color, spread of plant in east- west and in north-south directions and diameter of the stem for a period of 30 days. Treated plants showed an increment in the growth as compared to the control and survived longer (20 days longer) than the control plants.
