Synergies and tradeoffs in natural regulation of crop pests and diseases under plant species diversification

2021-08-01

Abstract excerpt

It has been suggested that increasing plant species diversity (PSD) in agroecosystems at different spatiotemporal scales reduces the impacts of crop pests and diseases as well as the dependence on synthetic plant protection products. This principle was applied to a range of tropical case studies. These studies involved various pests and pathogens with contrasting life history traits, different cropping systems (a...
