A MÚSICA PODE INFLUENCIAR AS PLANTAS? QUAL A OPINIÃO DE PROFESSORES UNIVERSITÁRIOS SOBRE ESSA INTERAÇÃO?

This paper proposed to evaluate the effect of music on the growth patterns of tomato plants (Solanum lycopersicum L.) and, at the same time, questioning University Professors about this experiment from a symmetric anthropological perspective. This paper concluded that sounds may influence vegetable organisms and that the majority part of the academics interviewed does not believe in this phenomenon, showing high disagreement of ideas and, in some cases, unfamiliarity on the subject. Key-words: Plant, Sound, Symmetric Anthropology, Scientific Community.
