A comparison of naturally growing vegetation vs. border-planted companion plants for sustaining parasitoids in pomegranate orchards

אלעד חיל, אלי הררי, תמר קיסר, מרים קישינבסקי

Diversification of vegetation within and around agricultural habitats is an effective strategy to support populations of natural enemies of crops’ pests. Such diversification can be achieved by conservation of natural vegetation that develops spontaneously around the plots, as well as by active introduction of companion plants to the crop. In this study we compared these two approaches in pomegranate orchards in Mediterranean climate.

A global quantitative synthesis of local and landscape effects on wild bee pollinators in agroecosystems

Kristin Krewenka, Margaret M. Mayfield, יעל מנדליק, Lora Morandin, Lucas Garibaldi, Simon Potts, Ingolf Steffan‐Dewenter, Taylor Ricketts, Claire Kremen, Hajnalka Szentgyörgyi, Juan Morales, Blandina Viana, Riccardo Bommarco, Catrin Westphal, Saul Cunningham, Rachael Winfree, Luísa Carvalheiro, Alexandra‐Maria Klein, Natacha Chacoff, Jan Dudenhöffer, Sarah Greenleaf, Andrea Holzschuh, Rufus Isaacs

Bees provide essential pollination services that are potentially affected both by local farm management and the surrounding landscape. To better understand these different factors, they modelled the relative effects of landscape composition , landscape configuration and farm management, and their interactions, on wild bee abundance and richness for 39 crop systems globally.
