Thanks Usha ji for taking pain for writing this long message. In conference organised by Khairagarh Sangeet Vishwavidyala, the only music university of Asia, I presented a paper on Effect of Music on Crop Production. While preparing the review paper on it I noted that there were some big holes in previous works. They were of academic nature with no practical utility. The results were manipulated (or looks like that) not the statistically significant. I feel that young researchers must be encouraged to restart this research (rather search) with standard scientific methods and procedures.
