Description
Prof. Stefano Mancuso (University of Florence) and Dr. Giancarlo Cignozzi owner of “Paradiso di Frassina” ideated and developed the use of sounds/music as a biologic agronomical practice in the last 7 years. At the Paradiso di Frassina Estate in the Montalcino region, Sangiovese vineyard were exposed to sound. During the years, it was observed variations in the growth of the vines: total leaf area per vine, a common index used to assess the rate of growth of plants, was higher in plants exposed to sound, from the beginning to the end of the season.
Impact
Plants close to the sound sources had a more efficient photosynthesis. At harvesting time, vines exposed to sound showed an increased sugar level and polyphenolic content of the berry. The sounds has revealed to play also an important role in the pest management of the vineyard.
