Other claims from this paper (8)
- Intervention effect Whiteflies were deterred by odors of aphid-infested tomato leaves in all treatments.
- Intervention effect All six natural enemies were attracted to aphid-infested tomato leaves.
- Association Whitefly deterrence was greater at the highest aphid density.
- Association Parasitoids were more attracted than predators as aphid density increased.
- Association Parasitoids were more attracted than predators as aphid feeding duration increased.
- Association Leaf position did not significantly influence preference of whiteflies, lady beetles, or the aphid parasitoid.
- Observation The two Encarsia species were attracted to leaves above aphid-infested leaves.
- Observation Orius sauteri was attracted only to the aphid-infested leaf itself.
