How Environmental Fluctuations Affect Volatile Emissions from Basil and French Marigold and their Consequences on the Fecundity of the Green Peach Aphid on Pepper Plants.

By releasing volatile organic compounds (VOCs), French marigold and basil have been shown in the laboratory to disrupt the fecundity of the green peach aphid, Myzus persicae. Thus, they can be potential companion plants (CP) for target crops. To dete…
