Abstract
⺠Arthropods from two trophic levels were affected by elements of 'attract and reward'. ⺠MeSA increased aphid parasitism rate. ⺠Different natural enemy species were attracted to either buckwheat (Fagopyrum esculentum) or methyl salicylate (MeSA). ⺠Fourth trophic level arthropod species may be attracted to buckwheat. ⺠Both MeSA and buckwheat may repel certain species from the third and fourth trophic level.
