This paper reviews the beliefs which drive some agricultural sectors to consider the lunar influence as either a stress or a beneficial factor when it comes to organizing their tasks. To address the link between lunar phases and agriculture from a scientific perspective, we conducted a review of textbooks and monographs used to teach agronomy, botany, horticulture and plant physiology; we also consider the physics that address the effects of the Moon on our planet. Finally, we review the scientific literature on plant development, specifically searching for any direct or indirect reference to the influence of the Moon on plant physiology. We found that there is no reliable, science-based evidence for any relationship between lunar phases and plant physiology in any plant–science related textbooks or peer-reviewed journal articles justifying agricultural practices conditioned by the Moon. Nor does evidence from the field of physics support a causal relationship between lunar forces and plant responses. Therefore, popular agricultural practices that are tied to lunar phases have no scientific backing. We strongly encourage teachers involved in plant sciences education to objectively address pseudo-scientific ideas and promote critical thinking.

关于月球对农业植物的影响有何想法和教训？物理学与生物学的视角

本文回顾了促使某些农业部门在组织其任务时将月球影响视为压力或有益因素的信念。为了从科学的角度探讨月相与农业之间的联系，我们审查了用于教授农学，植物学，园艺和植物生理学的教科书和专着；我们还考虑了解决月球对我们星球影响的物理学。最后，我们回顾了有关植物发育的科学文献，特别是寻找有关月球对植物生理影响的任何直接或间接参考。我们发现没有可靠的方法，在任何与植物科学有关的教科书或经同行评审的期刊文章中，月球阶段与植物生理之间的任何关系的科学依据，均证明了以月亮为条件的农业实践。物理学领域的证据也不支持月球力与植物反应之间的因果关系。因此，与月相有关的流行农业实践没有科学依据。我们强烈鼓励参与植物科学教育的教师客观地解决伪科学思想并提倡批判性思维。
