• Plants protect their roots by alerting the enemies of grubs (2001, unknown): “A mutualistic interaction between plants and entomopathogens in the soil is therefore to be expected and this may well provide new insight into how plants protect their roots against grubs and how biological control of soil pests may be achieved (Elliot et al. 2000).”
