Hi folks,

Recently I heard a scientist speaking on the use of certain chemicals
exuded from brassicas used to kill soil pathogens. Afterwards there was
some talk about buckwheat used for similar purposes. I haven't been
able to track down anything online or in my library. Do any of you have
any leads?

Thanks for any help,

Martha
