Scientists discover plants communicate

"What you could do is create a host crop that produces short RNA sequences that are specific against the parasite – you'd be helping it build its own defense system," he says. At the moment, farmers use herbicides to prevent strangleweed from ravaging tomato plants, alfalfa, and cranberry plants. So using this exchange of genetic material to our advantage could avoid these types of chemicals.

I'm not too sure if this has already been posted and it doesn't pertain to MJ itself but it could lead to a lot of new things to try for many different crops/plants. I think this is worthy of discussion and at the very least could be another tool in the MJ growers toolbox. Hopefully they will continue these studies and keep publishing their findings.

I saw that show, It was awesome seems like plants are very aware above and below ground.
