The key role of inter-row vegetation and ants on predation in Mediterranean organic vineyards

2021-05-01

Abstract excerpt

Biodiversity-friendly farming practices are taking centre stage, with herbicide use sparking major public debate on human health. Vegetation cover is increasingly used to enhance agroecosystem biodiversity and functions, providing important ecosystem services like biological pest control. However, further information is required on the relationship between vegetation cover, natural enemies, and pest predation. Usi...
