Natural vegetation benefits synergistic control of the three main insect and pathogen pests of a fruit crop in southern Africa

2015-08-01

Abstract excerpt

Most studies of the potential for natural habitat to improve agricultural productivity have been conducted in transformed, temperate regions, but little is known of the importance of agroecosystem services in biodiverse developing countries. Natural vegetation may promote the density and/or diversity of natural enemies of crop pests, but the strength of the effect varies, and few studies directly measure concurren...
