Arthropod natural enemies in arable landproceedings of the Second EU Workshop on Enhancement, Dispersal and Population Dynamics of Beneficial Insects in Integrated Agroecosystems: ''Estimating survival and reproduction of beneficial predators and parasitoids in relation to food availability aredigeret af Kees Booij & Loes den Nijs

By manipulating critical factors for the survival and reproduction of natural enemies which control insect pests in arable crops, their effectiveness can be improved. This book presents research in the response of natural enemies to crop and farming systems, especially in integrated and organic farms.
Data is provided on how factors like food availability, habitat quality, crop and soil mangement, the presence of field margins and the influence of landscape structure affect different groups of beneficials.
