Abstract
Evaluates the effects of four treatments on the ability of Viburnum dentatum to resist herbivory from a leaf beetle that is a new landscape pest. Treating V. dentatum with imidacloprid decreased feeding by the leaf beetle. Treating V. dentatum with jasmonic acid, harpin, and paclobutrazol had no impact on the leaf beetle.Suggested Citation
