Enhancing Beneficial Insects |
|||||
| Beneficial insect predators and parasites are critical components of healthy agricultural systems. However, modern agricultural landscapes often lack habitats that provide the pollen, nectar and shelter resources that these beneficial insects need to thrive. Our research focuses on establishing and managing native plant habitats in fields, orchards and conservation buffers, in order to increase biological pest insect control and pollination services.
New: From our friends in Washtenaw County, video on designing your yard to help pollinators. New: Listen to an interview with Anna Fiedler, Native Plants website author, entitled Bats, Native Plants and Earth Friendly Organizations. |
