Abstract

INTRODUCTION

  • Urban agriculture faces numerous challenges; particularly water access and pest pressure.
  • Vermicompost might mitigate water stress by enhancing organic matter and humic acids that improve water retention1, and relieve pest pressure by enhancing plant defensive chemistry.2
  • In this experiment, we examine how water stress and vermicompost interactively shape pest attraction.
