Crop cultivar mixtures to enhance insect biocontrol
2023 | User Manuals










English
This user manual presents the work of researchers who have studied the impact of cultivar mixtures on the natural enemies of cereal aphids. The analysis aims to show whether cultivar mixtures can contribute to crop resilience against/resistance to aphids. Information on the introduction of this practice and socio-economic data are also provided.
