THE PHENOLOGY OF OCCURRENCE OF DOMINANT PREDATORY SYRPHIDAE (DIPTERA) SPECIES IN APPLE ORCHARDS AND ON THEIR EDGES

Acta Scientiarum Polonorum: Hortorum Cultus, 2017
The blooming wild plants in the vicinity of orchards may attract adult Syrphidae to these cultivations. Hence in 2008–2010 studies were conducted around Czempiń (western Wielkopolska) which covered the occurrence of the imagines of 5 dominant predatory ...

Plant–pollinator interactions in apple orchards from a production and conservation perspective

Conservation Science and Practice
In an agricultural landscape, production and conservation ideally go hand in hand. In a win‐win scenario, conservation measures, such as hedges and flower strips, provide support for biodiversity and crop production for example by increased pollination ...

Artificial Adult Diet as a New Tool for Improving a Biocontrol Program with Predatory Hoverflies

Agriculture
Syrphine hoverflies (Diptera: Syrphinae) are important predators of aphids in agricultural crops. While the use of flowering plants to enhance their efficacy is well established, recent research has developed an artificial diet for adult hoverflies ...
