Effects of nitrogen fertilization on tritrophic interactions (2010, background): “…ingested food, and lower fecundity (Dixon 1970; Mattson 1980; Weibull 1987; Karowe and Martin 1989; Lindroth et al. 1995; Awmack and Leather 2002; Chen et al. 2004), although the degree of response to N variation can be dependent on herbivore feeding guild and specific herbivore-plant…”
Nitrogen fertilization rate affects feeding, larval performance, and oviposition preference of the beet armyworm, Spodoptera exigua, on cotton (2008, background): “Larvae that had fed on higher N diets or host plants had greater growth rates, and shorter developmental times, which is similar to what has been found for other herbivores on other host plants (Mattson, 1980; Lindroth et al., 1995; Chen et al., 2004).”
Effects of plant nutrient availability and host plant species on the performance of two Pieris butterflies (Lepidoptera: Pieridae) (2008, methodology): “Previous study has indicated that fertilization may affect the nutrient and allelochemical content in their host plant – Brassica oleracea; this phytochemical change may also affect the performance of both species of Pieris (Chen et al., 2004).”
