How could I explain an alien species' non tool based plant manipulation without using magic?

I'm trying to find a way to explain an alien species' ability to control plants, specifically plant growth for crops, without it being 'magic.' So they can ensure the health and size of the plants even if there is a draught, or a pestilence ect. without the help of modern technology like pesticides or sprinklers.

What I mean by 'non tool based' is that they must only need themselves to control the plants. So explanations through things like biology or chemistry, but not technology (and by that I mean the species has a computer chip in its brain or something).
