Interactions among host plants, phytophagous insects and natural enemies and relevant research methods

Abstract

Abstract: Based on the latest researches all over the world, the direct and indirect interactions among host plants, phytophagous insects and their natural enemies mediated by chemical and physical factors, including allelochemicals, host plant's nutrients, toxins, morphological characters, density, diversity and distribution, are reviewed, and the central role of host plants in these interactions is revealed. The present general research methods in this area are also introduced.

Key words: Host plants, Phytophagous insects, Natural enemies, Interactions, Research methods, microorganisms, soil pH, uptake, amino acids, maize
