Orchard netting impacts on biodiversity leading to cascading effects at the ecosystem level
Biological Reviews, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Agriculture must ensure food production without further compromising the ecosystem functions upon which it depends. Agricultural practices should therefore avoid harming farmland biodiversity, especially of taxa that supply the key ecosystem services (e.g.

Effects of increasing weed‐beet density on sugar‐beet yield and quality
Annals of Applied Biology, 1989 SummaryWeed beets are an increasing problem in many sugar‐beet crops in many countries. At present about one sugar‐beet field in four in England is infested with weed‐beet seed. Control in other crops can be achieved using selective herbicides but in sugar beet the weed beets, many of which are of annual habit, are not easily controlled and often ...
