The influence of host and non‐host companion plants on the behaviour of pest insects in field crops (2012, background): “Instead, they produced their effects by disrupting the normal ‘chain’ of behaviours (Zohren, 1968; Atkins, 1980) of both flies (Finch et al., 2003).”
Diversification Practices: Their Effect on Pest Regulation and Production (2008, unknown): “An alternative method to reduce pest pressure is to identify key plants that repel herbivores (Vanhuis 1991; Finch et al. 2003; Lapointe et al. 2003; Morley et al. 2005).”
Associational Resistance and Associational Susceptibility: Having Right or Wrong Neighbors (2009, methodology): “For example, leaf color of neighboring plants can disrupt host finding by the cabbage root fly (Finch et al. 2003).”
Secondary plants used in biological control: A review (2012, background): “There are different means by which plants benefit each other, directly influencing the 1st trophic level (Kuepper and Dodson 2001; Finch et al. 2003): (i) enhancing flavour – some plants alter the flavour of other plants; (ii) fixing nitrogen – legumes are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen utilizing…”
Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control (2013, background): “Plants with aromatic qualities contain volatile oils that may interfere with host plant location, feeding, distribution and mating, resulting in decreased pest abundance [45-47] (Fig.”
