Insect-Plant Interactions and Control

Insect-Plant Interactions and Control is a research topic within Insect Science. Science Explorer counts 64k research works in it since 1950. 9.9% of them reached the world's top 10% most cited for their field and year.

This cluster of papers focuses on the complex interactions between insects and plants in agricultural ecosystems. It covers topics such as jasmonate signaling, herbivore-induced plant volatiles, biological control, plant defense mechanisms against insect herbivores, the effects of pesticides on arthropod pests, host plant selection by insects, and the role of predator diversity. The research aims to understand and manage these interactions to improve pest control and sustainable crop production.
