Table 4 Planting and insect sampling dates for field and greenhouse experiments conducted over the 2014 and 2015 growing seasons to evaluate the effects of inoculation with AM fungi on the performance of rice water weevil and the growth of fall armyworm on rice plants. Experiments were designated as: Rice Water Weevil Mamou 1 (RWW-M1), Rice Water Weevil Mamou 2 (RWW-M2), Rice Water Weevil Crowley 1 (RWW-C1), Rice Water Weevil Crowley 2 (RWW-C2), Fall Armyworm 1 (FAW-1), and Fall Armyworm 2 (FAW-2).
From: Effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi on rice-herbivore interactions are soil-dependent
