For example, with climate change, if there's a way that we can prime the plants or we can tell the plant

that, look, there's going to be a stressful event a day or in a two or three, and you can prepare for it, certainly increasing their efficiency not to survive but grow better in that sort of extreme conditions and the condition in which they wouldn't normally would survive.

Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Definitely, it's possible.

Not saying that any specific sound would work, but there are still studies going on, and I'm working on defining those frequencies that can help plants grow better.

quite widely the ultrasonic range.

So some that we can't really hear.

Yes, something like that.

At the moment, I cannot really comment on that, but it does a subtle effect and we are looking more into it.

However, the previous studies that have been published have seen with different frequencies, they have different responses.

Personally, for example, I do enjoy metal, but not as much as death metal.

Or punk rock.

But everybody has their own preference, right?

You may enjoy jazz, but not classical.

So I think that same goes with plants as well.

the more I have looked into plants, the more I have gone fascinated with how they really interact and how they're underappreciated, I would say.

I think that fascination has always made me curious, saying that when I talk specifically about hearing sounds.

I'm also a DJ, so I do DJing in my free time.

And I think that was sort of a perfect opportunity for me to actually look at

how sound and plants, two of my passionate things, can be joined together.
