Studies to date on push-pull effects on the fall armyworm (FAW) embedded in the mechanisms according to the current state of knowledge of the system.
Volatiles (and potentially other traits) of the intercrop repel the herbivorous insect and additionally attract its parasitoids, while volatiles (and potentially other traits) of the border crop attract herbivores away from the main crop (Pickett et al., 2014; Khan et al., 2018; Eigenbrode et al., 2016). The pull effect of the border crop Napier grass, Pennisetum purpureum, was observed in earlier systems, as it attracted stemborers (Khan et al., 1997b), but could not be confirmed for the FAW with the border crop Brachiaria cv Mulato II (Sobhy et al., 2022). For more detail on all studies, see Supplementary file 1.

Heatmap comparing the log10-transformed peak area of the non-zero hits of substances present in at least 2/3 of the samples of at least one of the Desmodium species in the field, showing relative peak areas detected in field- or pot-grown (bioassay conditions) D. intortum and D. incanum, with pot-grown maize for comparison.
Peak intensity can only be meaningfully compared within the same substance. The x-axis displays the species and their growth conditions (field or pot), and the y-axis shows the target substances in alphabetical order. The color indicates the mean of the log-10 transformed peak area of all samples with the substance present. The gray color indicates that a substance occurs in more than one, but less than 2/3 of the samples from the field. ‘Maize Infested’ refers to maize plants that were exposed to FAW eggs, as moths were allowed to oviposit on the plants two nights prior to volatile sampling. Sample sizes: Ambient Control Field = 4, D. incanum Field = 14, D. incanum Pot = 3, D. intortum Field = 11, D. intortum Pot = 5, Maize infested Pot = 4, Maize Pot = 4.

Results of choice oviposition assays for moths in cages.
(A) Setup of the control with two maize plants inside the cage. (B) Setup of the treatments with direct contact with one maize and one Desmodium plant inside the cage. (C) Setup of the treatments with indirect contact with two maize plants placed inside the cage and one Desmodium plant placed in proximity to one of the maize plants, but unreachable for the moths. (D) The boxplots display the relative number of eggs (light gray boxes) or egg batches (dark gray boxes) per position (x axis) and treatment (superordinate boxes). The lower and upper hinges correspond to the 25th and 75th percentiles, while the whiskers extend to the largest and smallest non-outlier values, respectively. Outliers are values outside a window of 1.5 x the interquartile range and are plotted individually. Desmodium is abbreviated with ‘Des’ and treatment is abbreviated with ‘treat’. See Table 2 for a model-based statistical analysis and Figure 4—figure supplement 1 for a breakdown of eggs per repetition and batch. Sample sizes (n, replicate units of a given treatment): Control = 21, D. incanum direct = 19, D. intortum direct = 20, D. incanum indirect = 19, D. intortum indirect = 20.

Scheme showing the cage setup in greenhouse 1B.
This greenhouse provided space for 15 cages in total, whereby three replicates of each treatment could be repeated per cycle. The plants display the placement of the plants in the replicates of the second cycle from 23rd to 26.05.2023. To minimize volatile interference of neighboring setups, the treatments were placed in groups next to each other (represented by letters) with a distance of at least one cage length in between, which corresponded to 60–100 cm. Due to space limitations, the cages of group H were placed slightly closer, with an approximate distance of 50 cm. The positions of the treatments were swapped between each cycle so that each treatment was conducted at each position once. In the treatments where Desmodium plants were placed outside the cages, the Desmodium plants were normally placed between the cages and additionally on the outside of the outermost cage of a group (as can be seen on the cages of G). However, as all treatments were photographed, in retrospect, several misplaced plants were noticed (see cage K2). Therefore, it must be considered that only conclusions about the influence of Desmodium volatiles in proximity versus those at a distance greater than 0.5 m can be made, and any volatiles reaching longer distances might have affected neighboring replications. Light gray squares = tables, dark gray squares = cages, yellow circle = maize plants, green circle = Desmodium plants. The red circle indicated the situation where a plant was misplaced and therefore was closer to the neighboring repetition.

Scheme showing the cage setup in greenhouse 3B.
This greenhouse consisted of 10 cages in total, whereby two replicates of each treatment could be repeated per cycle. The plants display the placement of the plants in the cycle from 23rd to 26.05.2023. To minimize volatile interference of neighboring setups, the treatments were placed in groups next to each other (represented by letters) with the distance of at least one cage length in between, which corresponded to 60–100 cm. Due to space limitations on two tables, the cages of group E were placed slightly closer with an approximate distance of 50 cm. The positions of the treatments were swapped between each cycle, with all treatments being conducted in 4/5 positions. In the treatments where Desmodium plants were placed outside the cages, the Desmodium plants were normally positioned either between the cages or on the outer sides. However, as all treatments were photographed, in retrospect, several misplaced plants were noticed (see Figure 4—figure supplement 3 Figure of Greenhouse 1B, cage K2). Therefore, it must be considered that only conclusions about the influence of Desmodium volatiles in proximity versus those at a distance greater than 0.5 m can be made, and any volatile reaching longer distances might have affected neighboring replications. Light gray squares = tables, dark gray squares = cages, yellow circle = maize plants; green circle = Desmodium plants.

Photographic documentation showing the egg collection and counting process.
Fall armyworm eggs are small (<1mm), normally laid staggered in clusters and with hair-like scales on the surface, which complicates accurate egg counting (see picture A). Therefore, eggs were collected with sticky tape to separate the layers and spread all eggs out in one dimension (B). The egg batches were taped to white paper, taking care not to squash eggs, and photographed using a UV imaging system (Syngene, Cambridge, England) against UV light (312nm) coming from underneath the paper (C). A script for semiautomatic counts in ImageJ (Version1.54f, National Institutes of Health, USA) was developed and used for counting the exact number of eggs per picture (D).

Results of dual-choice movement assays with plant headspaces.
(A) Line plot displaying the number of segment changes per minute until the experiment ended after 5 min. The line width indicates the number of overlaying lines and the colors indicate the moth activity level: ‘Settled after 2 min’=No segment changes after 2 min. ‘Settled after 3 min’=No segment changes after 3 min. ‘Little Activity’=Moths showed max. 2 segment changes in the last 3 min of the experiment. ‘High Activity’=Moths showed higher activity with at least 6 segment changes in the last 3 min of the experiment. The mean of all repetitions is represented by the black dashed line. (B) Setup of the dual-choice assay for a Desmodium treatment comparing a maize plant (left) vs. a maize and a Desmodium plant (right). The moths are released through an opening in the center (at 0 cm) and observed for 5 min. (C) Violin plot displaying the duration of stays in each segment in treatments with D. incanum and D. intortum (comparison of maize and maize + Desmodium) with the inclusion of the individual data points per repetition (black) and their mean (red): The x-axis displays the location in the dual-choice assay and the y-axis the total duration that each moth stayed in each segment. Below the x-axis, the last position of the moths that were considered settled (settled after <3 min or little activity) is displayed. See Table 3 for the statistical analysis and Figure 5—figure supplement 1 for the set-up and segmentation of the dual-choice assay setup. Sample sizes (n, replicate units of a given treatment: Control = 18, D. incanum = 18, D. intortum = 19).

Figure 6
Results of no-choice movement assay with headspaces of maize or maize + Desmodium.
(A) Setup of the no-choice assay for a Desmodium treatment. The moths are released through an opening in the right side (at 0 cm), and their movement is observed for 5 min. The plant odor was released from the outlet at 100 cm, while the moths were allowed to move freely up to 115 cm. All repetitions that showed activity in the last 2 min were excluded, as they are considered to have made no clear decision. (B) Violin plot with the inclusion of the individual data points per repetition displaying the distance flown in the first, initial movement and the final location that was considered the finally chosen position. The x-axis displays the treatment and the y-axis the total distance that a moth moved or flew. See Table 4 for the statistical analysis. The sample sizes corresponded to 19–20 for all samples, whereby all repetitions with activity in the last 2 min of the experiment were removed. Remaining sample sizes (n, replicate units of a given treatment): Control = 17, Maize = 17, Maize + D. incanum = 16, Maize + D. intortum = 17.
Appendix 1—figure 1
Stacked bar plot displaying the moth activity between 6 pm and 1 am.
Several pairs of moths were observed mating for several hours up until 1 pm. Explanation color code: Mating = Two moths mate, Plant = Moth sits on the plant and therefore might oviposit, Active = Moth actively moves or flies, Inactive = Moth does not move and sits on the frame or the net, Unchanged = Moth does not move from the starting point, No Information = Moth could not be found and therefore no information was obtained about its activity.

Overview of push–pull studies on FAW and detailed list of detected volatile compounds.
Sheet "Overview Studies": Study = Abbreviated name of the study. The full citations can be found at the bottom of the table. Plants studied = List of plant species investigated in the corresponding study. Set-up = Type of experimental design, ranging from field observations to bioassays and volatile sampling. Method = More detailed categorization of the experimental approach used. Metric = Measurement unit or parameter used in the method. Conclusions = Main outcome of the experiment. Sheet "Volatile Substances": Molecule = Name of the molecule found in the Desmodium species. Sum Formula = Sum formula of the corresponding substance. Reported for Desmodium intortum = Studies that reported the corresponding substance in relation to D. intortum. To our knowledge, no volatile profile of D. incanum has been reported so far. The full citations can be found at the bottom of the table. Classification = Classification of the substance based on literature. Classification Literature = Literature used for the classification of the substance. The full citations can be found at the bottom of the table. Qualitative occurrence in ambient control OR field D. incanum OR field D. intortum = Proportion of repetitions in which the substance was detected relative to the total number of repetitions. Mean quantitative occurrence in ambient control OR field D. incanum OR field D. intortum (zero values removed) = Mean log10-area calculated from samples in which the substance was detected; zero values from non-detects were excluded. Mean quantitative occurrence in ambient control OR field D. incanum OR field D. intortum (zero values included) = Mean log10-area calculated across all samples, including zero values. Reference CAS No = CAS number assigned to the commercially available substance. Reference Purity = Description of whether an isomer mixture or a pure isomer was used as a reference for comparison of the retention time and the mass spectra.
