Abstract:Understanding the environmental influences on insect pests and predator dynamics is essential for the development of integrated pest management strategies for common bean plants. This study aimed to determine the effects of the planting system, plant age, climatic variables, and predator populations on common bean pests under field conditions. Planting systems, plant age, climatic variables, and the abundance of insect pests and predators were evaluated under field conditions over two years in three planting s… Show more
