The use of push-pull strategies in integrated pest management. (2007, background): “The push-pull strategy has contributed to increased crop yields and livestock production, resulting in a significant impact on food security in the region (74, 76).”
On-farm evaluation of the 'push-pull' technology for the control of stemborers and striga weed on maize in western Kenya (2008, background): “Stemborer moths prefer Napier grass to maize for oviposition, with subsequent poor survival of the larvae (Khan et al., 2006b; Van den Berg, 2006; Van den Berg et al., 2006; Khan et al., 2007b).”
Meta-analysis of maize yield response to woody and herbaceous legumes in sub-Saharan Africa (2008, background): “…included in this analysis reveal that legumes reduce (1) infestation by arable and parasitic weeds (Akobundu et al. 2000; Gacheru and Rao 2005; Khan et al. 2006; Mureithi et al. 2003; Sileshi and Mafongoya 2003; Sileshi et al. 2006), (2) damage to maize by soil insects (Sileshi and Mafongoya…”
Diversification Practices: Their Effect on Pest Regulation and Production (2008, unknown): “Two out of the four studies successfully achieved the goal of reducing pests, increase yield and even suppress weeds (Khan et al. 2006a; Khan et al. 2006b).”
