Now this isn't exactly the same thing as herbivorial resistance, but it's along very similar lines... Artificial Defoliation...seems convicing, but then there's that part about pulling apart your plants so I dunno about that  but it's the same idea, deinetely supports the herbivorial resistance idea. |
Interesting read Duner.
I read that there is an Aspen tree that grows in a grove situation.
When one edge of the grove is attacked by a worm or whatever, those trees will send out a phermone or something that triggers a defense hormone in the rest of the grove.
I am sure the terms and details of the above are , to some degree, incorrect but you get the idea.
Is it possible that MJ could do that? Could you just tear up one of the plants and reap increased tric production in crop overall?
