Abstract
Embodiments include a computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for supplementing sub-optimal environmental conditions for plant growth, the embodiments include receiving plant data for a plant, and extracting optimal growth condition data from a database based at least in part on the plant. Embodiments also include obtaining sensor data from sensors monitoring current growth conditions of the plant and comparing the current growth conditions of the plant to the optimal growth condition data from the database to estimate a current cytoplasmic streaming rate. Embodiments include responsive to the comparison, calculating, by the calculation engine, a sound wave frequency to stimulate cytoplasmic streaming in the plant, transmitting the sound wave frequency to a speaker, and providing the sound wave frequency to the plant.
