Sonic Bloom

The spring birdsong chorus ardently fills the morning air and I immediately think of Sonic Bloom.  After witnessed devastating hunger as a young soldier in Korea, Dan Carlson, of River Falls Wisconsin, began a life mission to increase crop production and feed the earth’s people. Through his research, Dan made an amazing discovery. The frequency of morning birdsongs open up the pore-like stomata on leaves, enabling them to transpire out oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and nutrients in the morning dews. Dan developed a recording that imitates birdsongs, delivered through sound systems set up in fields and orchards. An organic blend of nutrients feeds the plants when sprayed on the open stomata and the plants thrive with reduced need for irrigation. In a world with an ever-growing population, Sonic Bloom has great potential to relieve pressure on Earth's limited water resources. 
For my part, I can encourage the songbirds to visit my yard by providing shelter and food. Come into my garden and sing, little birds, help my plants grow; I humbly acknowledge how little we know about the interconnectedness of all living things.
