Lower Nitrogen Availability Enhances Resistance to Whiteflies in Tomato

Soil nitrogen (N) supplementation via fertilizers may increase crop yields substantially. However, by increasing tissue N content, added N can make plants more attractive to herbivores, effectively reducing their resistance to herbivores (ability to avoid herbivore damage). In turn, greater pest inf...
