It triggers some kind of systemic resistance. Years ago I found information about it for fungal issues and it helping as a spray for oak trees with acute oak decline...can't find a lot of that information now as typing in the spray and knotweed will always try to sell you herbicide!
It does mention it in Matt Power's Regenerate Soil as well though so I didn't imagine it! Again not a lot of information on it though. There is lots of resveratrol in the knotweed and it definitely is associated with health in people, probably should have worded the last note better as I am not completely sure what is causing the health response in plants.. There is certainly lots to explore here, going to see what biology I can find in the knotweed when the microscope arrives.
