Plant-insect ecology

the theory that host-searching insects accept a plant only after enough landings on host leaves, so surrounding non-host plants reduce host finding.

In plant-insect ecology, appropriate/inappropriate landings theory refers to the theory that host-searching insects accept a plant only after enough landings on host leaves, so surrounding non-host plants reduce host finding. This meaning comes from Finch (2000) in Entomologia Experimentalis et Applicata.[1]
