The role of leaf wounding and an epigeal predator on caterpillar damage to tomato plants
Summary The effects of leaf wounding and the presence of a New Zealand carabid predator, Megadromus antarcticus , on the mortality of, and leaf damage caused by, Spodoptera litura on tomatoes were examined in glass houses. The presence of the non‐climbing carabid increased S. litura mortality with a...
