Description

This repository contains all raw and processed data related to the publication titled "Desmodium Volatiles in "Push-Pull" Cropping Systems and Protection Against the Fall Armyworm, Spodoptera frugiperda" written by Daria M. Odermatt, Frank Chidawanyika, Daniel M. Mutyambai, Bernhard Schmid, Luiz A. Domeignoz-Horta, Collins O. Onjura, Amanuel Tamiru and Meredith C. Schuman.

The data is subdivided in four sections:

  1. Volatile sampling of Desmodium intortum, D. incanum, and maize headspaces
  2. Oviposition bioassays comparing moth egg-laying preferences on maize vs. Desmodium (direct and indirect exposure)
  3. Choice assays evaluating moth behavior in response to maize alone vs. maize with Desmodium volatiles
  4. No-choice assays evaluation moth attraction toward maize alone, maize + D. intortum and maize + D. incanum

More detailed information is available in the README files located within each folder.
