Research projects

Utilization of synergies between selective biodiversity and targeted crop rotation
We are investigating a system where two key pests of cabbage and onion (Delia radicum and D. antiqua) [Diptera:Anthomyiidae] are controlled using:

crop rotation to disrupt the lifecycles
semi-permanent selective flower/grass strips providing nectar resources and shelter in order to enhance populations of the parasitoid Trybliographa rapae [Hymenoptera: Figitidae] and generalist predators.
