AEA's Shelley Katz CCA continues to dive into the science of pest attraction to crops

Research points to moderate Nitrogen application as the best N management approach to avoid unnecessary pest insect attraction.

Plants need nitrogen to produce defensive compounds, but too much nitrogen at once can attract pests to a crop.

Up next is a paper about Boron!

Hope you’ll follow along for more of the science behind plant nutrition and insect resistance!
