Description

Controlled herbivory damage was applied to single ramets of clonal plants using starved specialist beetles until a target damage level was reached. This protocol tests whether plants develop induced defenses in response to herbivory.

Typical Equipment

• collection nets or containers
• netting material

Output Measurements

• percentage damage to ramet
