Advances in plant disease and pest management (2010, background): “Herbivore-induced plant volatiles act as semiochemicals that can repel pests, attract other organisms that parasitize or predate the pest, and may serve as signals alerting other plants of impending attack (Khan et al. 2008b; Yi et al. 2009).”
Participatory Evaluation of Integrated Pest and Soil Fertility Management Options Using Ordered Categorical Data Analysis (2010, background): “The technology also offers additional benefits, beyond Striga and stemborer control, to the farmers thereby making it more attractive (Khan et al., 2008).”
Maize–Legume Intercropping and Push–Pull for Management of Fall Armyworm, Stemborers, and Striga in Uganda (2018, background): “One such novel technology that helps control striga and cereal stemborers is PPT that was developed by the International Center of Insect Physiology and Ecology (ICIPE) in collaboration with Rothamsted Research (Khan et al., 2008; Hassanali et al., 2008; Midega et al., 2010).”
