| According to Judith Sumner, in her book,
The
Natural History of Medicinal Plants, Sage releases methyl jasmonate
when crushed. This can stimulate tomatoes nearby to produce proteianase
inhibitors which make grazing insects stop. And, apparently Sage is not
the only plant to offer this wisdom. Ms. Sumner tells us of many plants
that react to their environments in equally astounding ways.
Learning how plants interact can help
us create a better, healthier garden. |
