In a recent study, researchers have found that an innovative push-pull pest management strategy for maize crops can significantly increase yields. This strategy involves intercropping maize with two other plants that are attractive to pests: one that “pushes” the pests away from the crop and another that “pulls” them away. After several months of testing this method on maize crops in Kenya, the researchers found that yields had increased by an average of 40%.
