Manipulating Natural Enemies By Plant Variety Selection and Modification: A Realistic Strategy?
1998
Overview
The host plants of arthropod pests may affect parasitoids and predators
directly or indirectly, through multitrophic interactions. Direct plant effects
may involve simple mechanisms such as reduced parasitoid searching efficiency
caused by trichomes. Multitrophic effects often involve complex interactions
that are not well understood, and their impact on natural enemies and
biological control are difficult to predict. Knowledge of the direct and
multitrophic effects creates opportunities to increase the effectiveness of
natural enemies by incorporating natural enemy-enhancing traits into crop
plants. The strategy may have potential for both generalist and specialist
natural enemies, but the enemies' behavior and other factors will affect
the results. Although combining natural enemies and plant resistance may slow
the adaptation of some insect pests, it may speed up adaptations of others. A
better understanding of plant/pest/natural enemy evolution is necessary to
predict how to combine natural enemies and plant resistance for the best
long-term results.
