“…Mulching increased predation of Colorado potato beetle eggs and larvae (Brust, 1994(Brust, , 1996. Also, the addition of barley strips in potato fields for conservation biological control resulted in nearly a three-fold decrease in peak aphid densities (Nakahira et al, 2012). Moreover, the numbers of winged aphids in that study were significantly lower compared to the potato monoculture.…”

Decline in soil health is a serious worldwide problem that decreases complexity and stability of agricultural ecosystems, commonly making them more prone to outbreaks of herbivorous insect pests. Potato (Solanum tuberosum L., Solanaceae) and onion (Allium cepa L., Amaryllidaceae) production is currently characterized by high soil disturbance and heavy reliance on synthetic inputs, including insecticides. Evidence suggests that adopting soil conservation techniques often (but not always) increases mortality and decreases reproductive output for the major insect pests of these important vegetable crops. Known mechanisms responsible for such an effect include increases in density and activity of natural enemy populations, enhanced plant defenses, and modified physical characteristics of respective agricultural habitats. However, most research efforts focused on mulches and organic soil amendments, with additional research needed on elucidating effects and their mechanisms for conservation tillage, cover crops, and arbuscular mycorrhizae.

“…Besmette bladluizen die het vanggewas aanprikken laten het virus in het vanggewas achter waarmee wordt voorkomen dat het virus in het gewas terecht komt (van Emden en Harrington, 2017). Nakahira et al (2012) zag een drie maal lagere luizenpopulatie in aardappel omgeven voor stroken met gerst in vergelijking met een veld zonder stroken. Difonzo et al (1996) zag daarnaast ook een lagere virusinfectie langs de randen van een aardappelveld omgeven door sorghum, tarwe of soja.…”

“…Biological control studies using this species have accumulated (e.g. Ohtaishi 2004, 2005;Wei et al 2003;Yang et al 2009b) as have their applications with companion plants (Nakahira et al 2012;Ohta and Honda 2010). Because it is empirically clear that females of A. gifuensis move from natal habitats to non-natal habitats, the host-finding process of this species should include a step in which they respond to cues from the non-natal habitat.…”

Cross-modal effect of natal habitat experience increases receptivity to non-natal habitat cues in generalist parasitic wasps

Exposure to natal habitats induces preferences in individual organism for foraging cues that originate from their developmental habitat. However, the natal experience of habitat generalists may play a different role in their habitat selection, since they use a broad range of foraging cues in a non-natal habitat. In this study, the effects of natal habitat experiences on the responses of females of the generalist parasitoid Aphidius gifuensis Ashmead to cues from natal or non-natal habitats were investigated. The landing rates on plant-host complexes (PHCs) and undamaged plants (UDPs) of natal (wheat) and non-natal (broad bean) plant systems in a wind tunnel increased after encounters with host aphids on the wheat-PHCs when the wasps had previously been exposed to wheat-UDPs. However, without the previous exposure to wheat-UDPs, the landing rate on the broad bean-PHCs was not increased. Similar increase found in responses to green paper disc dummies suggested involvement of visual stimuli in the reinforcement. In olfactometer tests, preferences for broad bean-UDPs over broad bean-PHCs were found but wasps with previous exposure to wheat-UDPs and host encounter on wheat-PHCs did not show the preference. These results suggest that the early exposure to natal habitat plants modified later learning and response to visual cues from potential non-natal habitat plants, and olfactory learning might be involved in the modification. This cross-modal effect of early natal experience would compensate for the loss of host-searching efficiency due to uncertain information of potential non-natal habitats.
