How farmers think about insects: perceptions of biodiversity, biodiversity loss and attitudes towards insect-friendly farming practices

“…To create such a resilient system that would reduce the ecological, social, and economical negative consequences, including the consequence of recent stagnation or even a decline in crop yields (Dainese et al 2019), and would overcome lock-in effects, a full redesign of the entire agricultural system is urgently needed and should be actively promoted (Lamine 2011;Meynard et al 2012;Kremen and Merenlender 2018a;Haan et al 2021). This redesign should seek to incorporate agroecological diversification practices such as IPM, intercropping, cover cropping, and crop rotation, which all indirectly enhance insect biodiversity (Hatt et al 2016;Kremen and Merenlender 2018b;Samways et al 2020;Lundin et al 2021). Additionally to the production-oriented and field-based measures, it is essential to implement measures which promote biodiversity more directly by enhancing the semi-natural structure at the landscape scale (Samways et al 2020;Lundin et al 2021).…”

These measures include maintaining and introducing perennial elements such as hedges, wildflower field borders and wildflower patches along roads, field trails, and water bodies.…”

Towards Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management in Intensive Pear Cultivation: A Case Study from Belgium

“…On the other hand, the expanding use of physical control measures, for example netting to exclude pest insects, can have a serious negative impact on pollinating insects [25,26]. In order to facilitate synergies between pest control practices and pollination services, the concept of IPPM was introduced and a systematic framework for this concept was recently proposed [9,11,22]. Implementation of IPPM involves the combined use of one or more intercompatible actions for pest and pollinator management, with giving priority to the actions that aim to prevent pest-and pollinator-imposed yield gaps in the long run.…”

“…The pollination service of wild pollinating insects is significant for the production of fruit crops [6][7][8]. Therefore, the concept of IPM can be further extended into Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management (IPPM) [9][10][11].…”

Inseticidas em pomares de citros e sua seletividade sobre o parasitoide >i<Trichogramma atopovirilia>/i< (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

“…O MIP é um programa de manejo que integra o uso de múltiplas táticas para controle de pragas, onde as abordagens enfatizadas vão desde a análise das condições do agroecossistema, o monitoramento dos níveis populacionais de insetos, a até a utilização de controle cultural, biológico, comportamental, genético, varietal e quando necessário, o uso do controle químico (Lundin et al, 2021). Estes últimos, quando utilizados, devem ser somente aqueles registrados no Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) para a cultura.…”
