- Intervention effect Herbivory significantly induced plant volatiles in both healthy and mildew-infected Brassica rapa plants.
- Intervention effect Plant volatiles of mildew-infected Brassica rapa were quantitatively 41% lower than those of healthy plants.
- Intervention effect Parasitoids strongly preferred Pieris-infested Brassica rapa plants to dually infested plants.
- Intervention effect Powdery mildew did not change the performance of Pieris brassicae caterpillars on Brassica rapa.
- Intervention effect Cocoon mass of Cotesia glomerata was reduced when parasitized caterpillars developed on mildew-infected Brassica rapa plants.
