Desmodium Volatiles in "Push-Pull" Cropping Systems and Protection Against the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda

Daria M Odermatt, Frank Chidawanyika, Daniel Munyao Mutyambai, Bernhard Schmid, Luiz A. Domeignoz‐Horta, Collins O Onjura, Amanuel Tamiru, Meredith Christine Schuman

This study investigates whether volatiles from Desmodium plants repel fall armyworm moths in push-pull cropping systems, finding that while some volatiles may repel, they are not sufficient to explain reduced pest infestation.
