Applied Economic Perspectives and Policy, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We conducted two framed field economic experiments with citrus farmers in Florida, United States and soybean farmers in Argentina to investigate their willingness to coordinate pest and weed management efforts. Despite the contrast between these two agricultural contexts, we find striking behavioral commonalities.

The pollination requirement of the field bean (vicia faba) [PDF]
, 1960 Many of the flowers on field bean plants fail to produce pods even when fully pollinated. When insect pollination is prevented pod production on the lowest inflorescences, which normally produce most pods, is reduced but a compensatory increase on the ...

Current Opinion in Insect Science, 2015 Our review looks at pollinator conservation and highlights the differences in approach between managing for pollination services and preserving pollinator diversity. We argue that ecosystem service management does not equal biodiversity conservation, and that maintaining species diversity is crucial in providing ecosystem resilience in the face of ...
