متن کاملAttractiveness of Michigan native plants to arthropod natural enemies and herbivores.
The use of plants to provide nectar and pollen resources to natural enemies through habitat management is a growing focus of conservation biological control. Current guidelines frequently recommend use of annual plants exotic to the management area, but native perennial plants are likely to provide similar resources and may have several advantages over exotics. We compared a set of 43 native Mi...
متن کاملInteractions between transgenic plants, the diamondback moth and natural enemies
Several Brassica crops have been transformed with -endotoxin genes from Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) to provide resistance to the diamondback moth (Plutella xylostella) and other lepidopteran pests. This paper describes studies of the direct and indirect effects of Bt plants on a parasitoid of P. xylostella using Cry1Acexpressing transgenic oilseed rape (canola) as an example. The braconid wasp ...
متن کاملInfluence of native flowering plant strips on natural enemies and herbivores in adjacent blueberry fields.
Conservation plantings of native wildflowers were established adjacent to highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) fields to test the hypothesis that provision of resources for natural enemies increases their abundance in adjacent crop fields without increasing the abundance of pest insects. For two growing seasons, natural enemies and herbivorous insects were sampled in fields with flower...
