In a belowground multitrophic interaction, <i>Trichoderma harzianum</i> induces maize root herbivore tolerance against <scp><i>Phyllophaga vetula</i></scp>

Abstract

Our results provide novel information about belowground multitrophic plant-microbe-arthropod interactions between T. harzianum and P. vetula in the maize rhizosphere resulting in alterations in maize phenotypic plant responses, inducing root herbivore tolerance.
