Other claims from this paper (4)
- Observation Chive and B-bean roots contained higher starch levels than the other host plants.
- Intervention effect Soluble sugar, fat and protein contents were significantly higher in both Bradysia species reared on chive and B-bean than on cabbage, lettuce, W-cabbage and pepper.
- Observation The authors concluded that the two Bradysia species displayed nutrient preference toward chive and B-bean.
- Recommendation The authors state the results provide a reference for understanding host plant range and for control of the insects via field crop rotations.
