Aloha,

>... Raoul is a crop scientist, and talks about
the difference between "vertical" (modern, single-gene parasite resistance that parasites can evolve around) and "horizontal" resistance (multi-gene resistance, that can't be easily adapted around).

Which is why stuff like e.g. neem keeps working and working for thousands of years...

But if say on the page for a single item view of plant info, it had link to "find related plants".
Actually, a set of links to preformed queries "find functional plants of this genus" (ie search current plant genus with rating of 3 or over). "find plants with similar products", "find plants alleopathic to this one". The plant taxonomy could get "linkified" so each level provided a search for plants (families, genus, etc) above it. This kind of system would really allow you to surf though the network of information.

Like these ideas. Any ideas on how implementable they are (Chad, Rich)?
