Other claims from this paper (9)

Observation Feed barley was the least preferred cereal for female moth oviposition.
Observation Feed barley supported the highest larval performance.
Observation Late-instar larvae selected feed barley, on which they performed best.
Observation Late-instar larvae selected malt barley, on which they performed best.
Intervention effect Fertilizer did not influence adult oviposition preference.
Intervention effect Half-dose fertilization produced heavier pupae than unfertilized plants.
Intervention effect Full-dose fertilization produced heavier pupae than unfertilized plants.
Intervention effect Field fertilization did not enhance larval performance on feed barley.

Other claims from this paper (13)

Observation Yellow T showed antixenosis to larvae on young maize plants.
Intervention effect Pinto Saltillo controlled consumption of maize leaves.
Intervention effect Yellow T controlled consumption of maize leaves.
Observation Sitotroga cerealella caused the fewest holes in maize grains under Yellow T.
Observation Sitotroga cerealella caused the most holes in maize grains under PS-AZH-15.
Observation Adult numbers were lowest for Yellow T and PS-AZH-15.
Observation Adult numbers were highest for Black T.
Observation Yellow T showed antixenosis against both maize pests.
Observation Yellow T was superior to the control for both maize pests.
Recommendation The authors propose using Yellow T for future maize protection studies.
Mechanism The authors infer genetic regulation of the antixenotic effect.
Observation The protective mechanism lacked insecticidal properties.
