DOI: 10.3390/insects13070651
Abstract: Simple Summary Exploiting the tolerance of plants against herbivorous insects is a viable pest management alternative, especially where conventional controls are ineffective. For example, due to the inefficacy of currently adopted practices, new strategies and… read more here.
