A key enzyme that interferes with insect digestion. Research suggests BTH can increase PPO activity by 1.0 to 2.6 times.
Describe how you would measure the population growth of insects (e.g., Myzus persicae ) on BTH-treated versus control plants. 4. Results and Discussion bth.rar
Define BTH (Acibenzolar-S-methyl) as a synthetic analog of salicylic acid. Explain that it does not kill pests directly but instead "primes" the plant's immune system. Introduce the concept of as the measurable decrease in herbivore performance (growth or survival) on treated plants. 2.
