Potato leaf senescence affects the olfactory and feeding preferences of the green peach aphid, <i>Myzus persicae</i>
The results suggest that senescence induction, rather than natural senescence, enhances the nutritional quality of the leaves, allowing aphid propagation. Insights into aphid host preference can be used in future control strategies by promoting agricultural practices that minimise senescence induction caused by factors such as shading due to high sowing density, or nutrient imbalance. © 2025 Society of Chemical Industry.
