Modelling the effects of field spatial scale and natural enemy colonization behaviour on pest suppression in diversified agroecosystems
Abstract
Diversifying agroecosystems by establishing or retaining natural vegetation in and around crop areas has long been recognized as a potentially effective means of bolstering pest control as a result of attracting more numerous and diverse natural enemies, although outcomes are inconsistent across species.
