Beneficial insects move from flowering plants to nearby crops
California Agriculture, 1998 Marking studies demonstrated that lady beetles, lacewings, syrphid flies and parasitic wasps fed on nectar or pollen provided by borders of flowering plants around farms; many insects moved 250 feet into adjacent field crops.

Image-Based Phenotyping of Flowering Intensity in Cool-Season Crops
Sensors, 2020 The timing and duration of flowering are key agronomic traits that are often associated with the ability of a variety to escape abiotic stress such as heat and drought.

Can Flowering Greencover Crops Promote Biological Control in German Vineyards?
Insects, 2017 Greencover crops are widely recommended to provide predators and parasitoids with floral resources for improved pest control. We studied parasitism and predation of European grapevine moth (Lobesia botrana) eggs and pupae as well as predatory mite ...

Ecological engineering in low land rice for brown plant hopper, Nilaparvata lugens (Stål) management [PDF]
PeerJ, 2023 Rice field bunds and edges can act as near crop habitats, available for planting flowering plants to attract and conserve the natural enemies. We evaluated the effect of ecological engineering on the incidence of Brown Planthopper (BPH), Nilaparvata ...

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020 Flowering is a vulnerable, but crucial phase in building crop yield. Proper timing of this period is therefore decisive in obtaining optimal yields. However, genetic regulation of flowering integrates many different environmental signals and is therefore

Molecular Regulation of Flowering Time in Grasses
Agronomy, 2017 Flowering time is a key target trait for extending the vegetative phase to increase biomass in bioenergy crops such as perennial C4 grasses. Molecular genetic studies allow the identification of genes involved in the control of flowering in different ...

FLOWERING LOCUS C -dependent and -independent regulation of the circadian clock by the autonomous and vernalization pathways [PDF]
, 2006 Background The circadian system drives pervasive biological rhythms in plants. Circadian clocks integrate endogenous timing information with environmental signals, in order to match rhythmic outputs to the local day/night cycle.
