Abstract:Plants produce an array of different volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that have diverse eco-physiological functions and agricultural applications. Hence, the potential of VOCs as a natural and eco-friendly solution to increase crop productivity has garnered substantial attention. In particular, VOC-based pest management measures, such as Push–Pull, have been widely investigated in different cropping systems. However, our understanding of how the release and use of these VOCs impact agro-ecosystems beyond the … Show more
