By factoring this into site selection or soil fertilisation stragies it seems possible to forgoe chemcial intervention for insect attack. Although the correlation noticed is 100% this has not been properly verrified with trial work.Alternative Method: ReductionActive Ingredient:Alternative Trial: YesAlternative Type: Ongoing researchPest Type: Insect
