Can you hear the sound of plants screaming without water?

Generally, water is very important for plants to grow, but it is difficult to determine how much water a plant needs. In some arid areas, plants do not get enough water, and no one can know how much water a plant needs.

Various scientists were researching this. It was then that they realized that plants make a kind of sound when they do not have water, and that sound was the sound of needing water.

The importance of studying this field of botany along with today's modern computer technology is known to us only through some such research because we cannot hear the sound made by these plants, but when we connect it to a computer through sensors; we can hear its sound.

The development of science has brought new research together by combining plants and computers. When a tree or plant is in dire need of water, it screams. The scream that is raised does not reach our ears because it makes a sound that we cannot hear. Our ears cannot hear this type of sound.

When a plant needs water, it makes a very high-frequency sound at a rate of about 1 million per second. When a plant runs out of water, the water paths that carry water to its various parts break, and that's when this kind of sound is made. It's very difficult to detect this because when these paths break, they make a sound.

So we can't detect the moment when these paths break. Scientists who thought about this installed a sensor in the plant for this. That sensor was connected to a computer. Now, when the signals sent by the sensors in the plant are received by the computer, we can detect that sound.

We can study the sound made by the plant by recording it on a computer. If it is left without water, its growth will be affected, and in such a situation, the plant makes a sound. Dr. Goblin Jones from the Scientific Agricultural Food Research Institute in Wellesbourne, Britain, created this intelligent device that runs on a computer.

Using the numbers known in this computer, it calculates how much water has been produced in the water path of this plant. If water is poured on a plant at the right time and comes, it will not break, so the plant will not make a sound. The plant will make a sound only if there is not enough water.

 This device can also be used for economical irrigation systems controlled by a computer. If water is irrigated in water scarcity areas with very little water resources, when such devices are installed, the plant can be watered when it needs water.

Dr. Jones is conducting basic research on the relationship between plants and water. He says that this will be very helpful for countries with droughts. By fully understanding the water needs of plants, it is possible to use less water available in drought areas in a very economical and efficient way and get good results.
