Tomato Growers Dig Rock 'N' Roll Music

LONDON (Reuters) - British tomato growers have decided rock 'n' roll may be an ideal aphrodisiac for their plants.

Growers who used to employ people or machines to shake the plants to increase pollination found they could get better
results blasting them with loud bass-heavy music, the Guardian newspaper said Wednesday.

''Music with a strong beat is best,'' Alan Parker, chairman of the Tomato Growers' Association, was quoted as saying.

Disc jockey Dave Cash, asked to come up with tunes to pollinate by, included the Beach Boys' ''Good Vibrations'' and Bruce
Springsteen's ''Dancing in the Dark.''
