Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Parasitoids significantly reduced leaf damage by caterpillars on lima bean plants under controlled field conditions.
- Intervention effect Lima bean plants attacked by caterpillars suffered no loss in seed production when parasitoids were present.
- Intervention effect Parasitoids had no effect on the emergence of Zabrotes subfasciatus and Acanthoscelides obtectus seed beetles.
- Intervention effect Emergence of seed beetles was equally reduced in plants attacked by unparasitized and by parasitized caterpillars.
- Intervention effect Parasitism rates of seed beetle larvae were similar for all treatments.
- Intervention effect Parasitized caterpillars did not damage lima bean plants enough to reduce seed production, unlike unparasitized caterpillars.
- Intervention effect Damage inflicted by the caterpillars induced resistance in lima bean plants against other herbivores.
