Soil legacy of SiO 2 nanoparticles impedes fall armyworm oviposition by reprogramming constitutive maize volatiles

Abstract BACKGROUND Host–plant selection for oviposition strongly influences herbivorous insect population establishment and crop damage, and is largely mediated by plant volatile cues. Silicon dioxide nanoparticles (SiO 2 NPs) can modify plant–insect interactions, but whether th...
