Associational Effects of Desmodium Intercropping on Maize Resistance and Secondary Metabolism

Ethan Bass,

et al.

Abstract: Intercropping is drawing increasing attention as a strategy to increase crop yields and manage pest pressure; however the mechanisms of associational resistance remain controversial. We conducted a controlled experiment to assess the impact of co-planting with silverleaf Desmodium (Desmodium uncinatum) on maize secondary metabolism and resistance to herbivory by the spotted stemborer (Chilo partellus). Two maize varieties were grown either with Desmodium or adjacent to it in separate pots. Our ndings indicate … Show more
