Tri-trophic interactions among nitrogen-fertilized tomato cultivars, the tomato fruit worm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and the ectoparasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor (Say) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Tri-trophic interactions among nitrogen-fertilized tomato cultivars, the tomato fruit worm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner) (Lepidoptera: Noctuidae) and the ectoparasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor (Say) (Hymenoptera: Braconidae)

Abstract Nitrogen is one of the most critical elements for plant and herbivore growth. This research aimed to investigate the bottom-up effect of varying nitrogen fertilization on the demography of the ectoparasitoid, Habrobracon hebetor (Say) on the tomato fruit worm, Helicoverpa armigera (Hübner)...
