Carabid beetles can greatly contribute to biocontrol in agroecosystems, reducing both insect pests and weed seeds. However, foraging feeding behavior be highly dependent on the interaction network spatial structure of environment, which make their contributions variable. In present article, we explore how carabids affect vegetation specific agronomy practices can, turn, strength interactions network. We suggest that research carabid should move toward an approach among pests, carabids, other...
Reduced use of chemicals in weed management has been identified as a key strategy to increase overall agricultural sustainability. Carabid (Coleoptera: Carabidae) and cricket (Orthoptera:Gryllidae) seed predation shown promise, but also variability, an additional tool. Therefore, it is important that carabid activity-density further explored wide variety crops cropping systems, including large conventional systems where sustainability gains may be the largest. Here we activity-density,...
