Abstract (sommario):

In agroecosystems, conservation biological control is often constrained by low availability of pollen and nectar. Although floral resources can be integrated into agricultural systems, this usually requires sacrifice of productive land. This thesis describes experiments which test the influence of floral resources provided by species which have marketable value in their own right as food or medicinal crops. Floralresource strips comprising such species were intercropped with Brassica crops at plot, field and commercial scales in replicated field experiments. The abundance and distribution of k

Abstract (sommario):

Agriculture has done more damage to nature than any other human activity, and yet food production could need to be doubled by the middle of this century. As agricultural land is expanded and intensified, critical thresholds in the loss of natural habitats are crossed. This loss of non-crop habitats can have negative feedback on crop production, because it can cause a loss of “ecosystem services” that support and regulate crop production, such as the pollination of crops by bees and the biological control of crop pests by their natural enemies. Because of this connection between non-crop habita

Abstract (sommario):

Peach and nectarine tree belongs to the species Prunus persica and is the third most produced fruit species in the world. Within Europe, Spain is a leading producer. Most of the crops are located in Catalonia (northeastern Spain). Peach tree is the primary host of Myzus persicae, which is one of the most damaging pests of the crop. To date, its management has mainly based on insecticides, but the risk they pose to the human health and the environment, requires a reduction in their usage. Biological control could be a good tool to improve its control because of the wide array of natural enemies

Abstract (sommario):

The goal of this study was to evaluate several sustainable turf maintenance techniques for their potential to increase beneficial insect populations, which could then provide ecosystem services including pest suppression and pollination. The three techniques in question were 1) raising mowing height in commercial and residential lawns, 2) establishing naturalized roughs on golf courses, and 3) creating pollinator refuges on golf courses through the program Operation Pollinator. We found that raising mowing heights did increase populations of some predators such as spiders and staphylinids, but

Abstract (sommario):

Natural enemies provide critical population regulation of many pest species, though their effects are not commonly incorporated into agricultural management decisions. Conservation biological control is an important tool that can be implemented to minimize pest damage, but applying it requires appropriate understanding of pest and natural enemy relationships.

Abstract (sommario):

Insects have become increasingly resistant to chemical control methods, while at the same time public awareness of the harmful effects of synthetic pesticides has increased. The search for more environmentally 'friendly' means of pest suppression is gaining momentum and biological control (the use of natural enemies to reduce populations of noxious organisms) has become an increasingly sought-after option. Despite an increase in the establishment rate of insect natural enemies, classical biological control of arthropods is currently no more successful than it was one hundred years ago. Ecolog

Abstract (sommario):

Acacia cyclops A. Cunn. ex G. Don is an invasive alien plant that invades fynbos and coastal dunes. Several acacia species are grown commercially in South Africa and this has limited biocontrol agents to those that reduce only reproductive capacity. Dasineura dielsii was released in 2002 as a biocontrol agent for A. cyclops. This gall-forming midge destroys inflorescences and prevents seedpods from forming, but allows continued harvesting. Insects overwinter as larvae within their galls. This study examined the levels of parasitism experienced by dormant D. dielsii larvae, as well as the trigg

The ability of mealybugs to develop resistance to chemicals, as well as their cryptic nature and protective wax coverings, all individually and combined, impair the ability of insecticides to control them. Furthermore, chemicals deplete natural enemy populations that usually establish control over mealybug populations well before harvest in March to May. The inability of chemicals to control P.

While the advances made possible by the landscape mosaic model are undeniable, this approach fails to account for real-world complexity, as many species are

Some coccinellids only complete their development and produce viable eggs and progenies when they consume their preferred prey. However, when this prey is scarce or in presence of a prey of low quality, certain coccinellids feed on alt

Abstract (sommario):

Paropsis atomaria Olivier (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Paropsini), is a major pest of commercially grown eucalypts in South-East Queensland. Current management of paropsine beetles involves regular inspection and the application of chemical sprays if defoliation is severe. However, non-chemical control of plantation pests is highly desirable given the requirement to certify forest practices for sustainability, and community concerns over the use of pesticides. One way of reducing pesticide use is through conservation biological control, which requires detailed knowledge of the life history o

Abstract (sommario):

Species of Prosopis (Mimosaceae), or mesquite, are native to the Americas and introduced in South Africa as agro forestry trees to provide wood, fodder and shade in the late 1800s. In the Northern Cape Province, these trees have been particularly used for their pods by local farmers and local industry. However due to Prosopis’ ability to spread rapidly there has been increasing pressure to step up control of the tree. Due to the costs associated with most control methods biological control has been singled out as the most viable control method worth pursuing. This thesis attempts to explain an

Thesis (MScConEcol)--Stellenbosch University, 2012.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Acacia saligna, or Port Jackson, is an Australian Acacia which has spread throughout the Western and Eastern Cape provinces of South Africa where it has become invasive and a prominent feature of the vegetation. In areas where A. saligna establishes it replaces natural vegetation, alters ecosystem processes and interferes with agricultural practices. Consequently large management efforts have been made to eradicate this invasive alien tree. However, its large and persistent soil stored seed bank, even in the presence

Abstract (sommario):

Augmenter la diversité végétale au sein même du champ permet de réguler les populations de ravageurs dans de nombreux agroécosystèmes. Les mélanges variétaux (diversité intraspécifique) ou les associations de cultures avec une plante compagne (diversité interspécifique) sont considérées comme des pratiques agroécologiques prometteuses pour les systèmes de culture à bas intrants ou l'agriculture biologique. En effet, ces pratiques favorisent de nombreux services écosystémiques tels que la régulation des ravageurs, des maladies ou des adventices, ainsi que la fertilisation azotée. Cependant, le

Thesis (PhD)--Stellenbosch University, 2013.<br>ENGLISH ABSTRACT: Invasive species are among the most important global conservation threats. Their management is one of the key conservation challenges that will have to be addressed in the next few decades. The study of real invasions and their management in natural ecosystems provides an opportunity to gain important information on theoretical and applied aspects of biological invasions. This project focuses on the broader ecological context of invasive ant management in an ecologically sensitive island habitat. The thesis has three main compo

Abstract (sommario):

In this thesis, experiments were conducted in the laboratory and the field to determine whether the provision of floral resources to hoverflies could enhance the biological control of aphids. The overall aim was to clarify hoverfly behaviour and ecology in an agroecosystem in order to understand the potential of these insects for biocontrol under a conservation biological control (CBC) regime. A preliminary experiment in New Zealand compared the effect of different coloured water-traps on catches of the hoverflies Melanostoma fasciatum (Macquart) and Melangyna novaezelandiae (Macquart).
