lecture in june 2014 about how insects and plants interact with each other
On 7th June 2014 Dr Gudbjorg Inga Aradottir from Rothamsted Research treated us to a lecture on how insects use smell to find plants on your allotment. Once attacked plants can emit volatiles to attract a predator and also put nearby plants on alert.
