CONT

In the push–pull strategy, pests are repelled or deterred away from the protected resource (push) by stimuli that disturb the host location and modulate the host to become unattractive or unsuitable for the feeding and oviposition of pests. By using highly attractive stimuli, the target pests are simultaneously attracted (pull) to the specific source in which they are subsequently concentrated, facilitating their elimination and leaving the protected resource.
