Reviewer 2 Report
The study is aimed to investigate the control effects of isobavachalcone in field study, and study the preliminary mechanism of action. The study has some interesting points that can be worth to publish. However, there are several parts of the study that need improvements before possible consideration for publication.
Suggestions:
L18-19: In this study, the control effects of IBC were evaluated on field, and the preliminary mechanism of action was also investigated.
L23: delete 'Surprisingly'
The Introduction is too short. Give more backgound of the lacking information on the study aims.
L47: Give a more precise objective.
L59: Figure 1 title: Give in full IBC, BB.
L80: Text in the figures are too small.
Figure 4: Letters are too small in the figures.
Figure 5: Give in full OTU.
L188: E. vexans.
Figure 6: Letters are too small in the figures.
Figure 7: Text in the figure can not be seen.
Figure 9: Colour explanation texts are too small.
