Hi Binod

As a principle, abiotic factors alter plant traits in ways that affect herbivore infestation.

João Rafael Silva Soares

Binod, the reason is that rain is one of the main abiotic factors affecting aphid survival. It can wash aphids away from the leaves and we cannot underestimate the direct impact of the droplets on their body.

Qasim Ahmed

Changes in plant resistance to insect pest infestation could be brought about by the soil's lack of moisture and nutrients. This might be why aphid infestation in drought environments is seen as more severe than in irrigated fields.
