Green Lacewing Is Attracted to Volatile Organic Compounds and Essential Oils Extracted from Leaves.

Plant herbivore interactions have long been recognized as a complex interplay influenced by various factors, including plant volatile emissions. Understanding the role of these volatiles in mediating plant predator interactions is crucial for developing sustainable pest management strategies. This study investigated the olfactory preferences of larvae for volatiles emitted by leaves, focusing on both seedlings and essential oils (EOs).
