Diversification Practices: Their Effect on Pest Regulation and Production (2008, unknown): “…the effective identification and use of trap plants will depend on an exhaustive screening of the potential trap crop (Khan et al. 2000), its effectiveness when using different crops or different pests and the importance of local differences in abiotic and biotic factors (Khan et al. 2008b).”
Push—pull technology: a conservation agriculture approach for integrated management of insect pests, weeds and soil health in Africa (2011, background): “…countries to a critical mass of adopters to allow its horizontal diffusion within and beyond the target sites through the use of the effective technology transfer pathways already developed for push–pull (Khan et al., 2008a, b; Amudavi et al., 2009a, b), and where necessary adapt and optimize them.”
Farmers’ perceptions of a ‘push–pull’ technology for control of cereal stemborers and Striga weed in western Kenya (2008, background): “On-farm studies have demonstrated that PPT controls both Striga and cereal stemborers, and significantly improves maize yields (Hassanali et al., 2008; Khan et al., 2008).”
