Shelterbelts in agricultural landscapes suppress invertebrate pests

Australian Journal of Experimental Agriculture, 2006
The homogenous nature of agricultural landscapes generally reduces biodiversity of invertebrate species, but this can be partly offset by developing refuges at field margins. In Australia, shelterbelts are widely planted to provide protection for livestock and to counter salinity problems associated with rising water tables.

Movement of insect pests in agricultural landscapes

Annals of Applied Biology, 2012
AbstractInsect pests continue to exact a high toll on agricultural production, in spite of intense agrochemical input. The movement of insect pests from one place to another underlies their abundance and distribution in space and time, hence, ultimately, the extent of the inflicted crop damage.

Landscape‐level crop diversity benefits biological pest control

Journal of Applied Ecology, 2018
Abstract Landscape‐level crop diversification is a promising tool for ecological intensification, whereby biodiversity and ecosystem services are enhanced, and pesticide applications reduced. Yet evidence for the effects of crop diversity at multiple scales and in different landscape contexts is lacking.

Designing agricultural landscapes for natural pest control

2010
The green–blue network of semi-natural non-crop landscape elements in agricultural landscapes has the potential to enhance natural pest control by providing various resources for the survival of beneficial insects that suppress crop pests. A study was done in the Hoeksche Waard to explore how generic scientific knowledge about the relationship between ...

Movement of Entomophagous Arthropods in Agricultural Landscapes: Links to Pest Suppression

Annual Review of Entomology, 2014
Entomophagous arthropods can provide valuable biological control services, but they need to fulfill their life cycle in agricultural landscapes often dominated by ephemeral and disturbed habitats. In this environment, movement is critical to escape from disturbances and to find resources scattered in space and time. Despite considerable research effort

Mosaic-Pest: a spatially explicit model for landscape management of pests

2011
We developed a lattice model to simulate the spatio-temporal interactions between beetles (Meligethes aeneus) and parasitoids (Tersilochus heterocerus) in relation with landscape composition and structure. The model describes the most important processes (dispersal, mortality and fecundity) affecting population structure in space and time.

Natural pest control requires a complete landscape

IOBC/WPRS Bulletin, 2017
In many studies on landscape and functional biodiversity it is assumed that pest-regulating insects require other habitats than only agricultural fields. Other habitats can e.g. be important as hibernation site, as source of alternative prey or as source of floral resources.
