Compensation is the ability of the plant or crop to offset damage caused by pests or other factors such as hail. Compensation can act at the plant or crop levels. Plant compensation refers to the ability of individual plants to regrow after damage. Crop compensation may arise when damage is not uniform, i.e. crops compensate when insect attack on one individual allows its undamaged neighbour to grow faster. In this paper we present results of an experiment that shows that a plant next to a damaged plant yields more than it would otherwise.
