Ertao Li,Huanhuan Dong,Yafei Qu et al.
Ertao Li et al.
Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a critical cue for Holotrichia oblita larvae (white grubs), a widely distributed soil-dwelling pest, in locating host plant roots. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the perception of CO2 in white grubs rem...
Reduced fertilization regimes could boost biocontrol service without reducing crop yield [0.03%]
减施化肥能在不减少作物产量的同时增强生物控害效力
Ruohan Ma,Maceo Valente,Roger Boll et al.
Ruohan Ma et al.
Agricultural intensification can disrupt trophic networks by altering interactions between plants, pests and their natural enemies. We investigated the effects of two fertilization levels (high vs. medium) on the performance of the parasito...
Egg-induced defensive volatiles in rice: a strategy to recruit egg parasitoids for biological control of rice stem borers [0.03%]
