Many plants, including crops, release volatiles in response to insect attack. The chemical compounds can be a defense or can be an aromatic call for help to attract enemies of the attacking insect.

THE author indicates that her book is primarily intended for students of botany, and that it should be a guide to practical work. It is stated that the volume is planned to supplement the knowledge of ...

Soil consists of three basic parts including plant debris, microorganisms within the soil that decompose organic matter, as well as stable organic matter that is also referred to as humus. The ...
