Christiane Weiler; Simeon Leisch; Stephan Martin Junge; et al. Plant-Environment Interactions 2025. doi:10.1002/pei3.70059
Other claims from this paper (5)
- Intervention effect Mulched potato plots had higher foliar Mo, Cl and K contents.
- Intervention effect Mulch significantly reduced beetle leaf damage.
- Association Increased B content was associated with undamaged potato material.
- Intervention effect Under controlled conditions mulch did not affect beetle fitness.
- Mechanism The authors could not clearly attribute reduced beetle damage to altered foliar nutrients.
