Go Plant Activators!
Ben Phillips interviewed Steve Bogash, of Marrone Bio Innovations, and Dan Egel, vegetable pathologist at Purdue. They discussed a special group of fungicides that work inside of the plant to "turn on" their own natural chemical defenses against pathogens. They go by many names, including Plant Activators, Plant Defense Regulators, and Defense Activators.Theme music for this episode, Go Plant Activators!, was a topical parody of Go Go Power Rangers by Ron Wasserman. Parody lyrics and performance by Ben Phillips.
