“…For example, Belz et al . () found a preference of Microplitis mediator Haliday for Iberis amara L. and Cyanus segetum Hill over Fagopyrum esculentum Moench and Ammi majus L. Griffin and Yeargan () demonstrated the preference of the lady beetle Coleomegilla maculata DeGeer to deposit eggs on Abutilon theophrasti Medik. over eight other broad‐leaved annual weeds ( Acalypha ostryaefolia Riddell, Acalypha virginica L., Amaranthus hybridus L., Chenopodium album L., Galinsoga ciliata Ruiz & Pav., Sida spinosa L., Solanum ptychanthum Dunal, Xanthium strumarium L.).…”

Summary Ecosystem services have received increasing attention in life sciences, but only a limited amount of quantitative data are available concerning the ability of weeds to provide these services. Following an expert focus group on this topic, a systematic search for articles displaying evidence of weeds providing regulating ecosystem services was performed, resulting in 129 articles. The most common service found was pest control and the prevailing mechanism was that weeds provide a suitable habitat for natural enemies. Other articles showed that weeds improved soil nutrient content, soil physical properties and crop pollinator abundance. Weeds were found to provide some important ecosystem services for agriculture, but only a small number of studies presented data on crop yield. Experimental approaches are proposed that can: (i) disentangle the benefits obtained from ecosystem services provisioning from the costs due to weed competition and (ii) quantify the contribution of diverse weed communities in reducing crop competition and in providing ecosystem services. Existing vegetation databases can be used to select weed species with functional traits facilitating ecosystem service provisioning while having a lower competitive capacity. However, for services such as pest control, there are hardly any specific plant traits that have been identified and more fundamental research is needed.

“…The M. mediator were reared on hosts fed on cabbage because we used the adult parasitoids for behavioural studies (Belz et al, 2013). But as it is possible to rear parasitoids in hosts fed an artifi cial diet this could be a good starting point for developing a mass rearing technique for M. mediator.…”

“…Firstly, a regular supply of M. brassicae and M. mediator is necessary to conduct experiments on these species in order to determine how to promote M. mediator and so reduce the abun dance of M. brassicae (Pfiffner et al, 2003;Bianchi et al, 2005;Lauro et al, 2005;Luo et al, 2010;Géneau et al, 2012;Belz et al, 2013;Géneau et al, 2013). Secondly, mass rearing of M. mediator is a prerequisite for inundative releases.…”

“…Bagi serangga polinator, bau atau aroma bunga lebih sulit dikenali dibandingkan dengan warna dari suatu bunga. Namun temuan Belz et al (2013) justru menunjukkan bahwa aroma beberapa tumbuhan berbunga (bishop's weed, cornflower, buckwheat, candytuft dan oregano) mampu menarik kedatangan parasitoid Microplitus mediator. Dengan demikian penanaman jenis-jenis tumbuhan ini dapat memiliki implikasi positif dalam menunjang usaha pengendalian hayati.…”

INTISARITumbuhan berbunga merupakan tumbuhan yang berkemampuan memikat banyak serangga dan jasad pemanfaat tumbuhan lainnya, dan memiliki banyak manfaat bagi jasad-jasad ini, misalnya sebagai sumber pakan maupun tempat perhentian (untuk meletakkan telur atau menyembunyikan diri dari bahaya). Fungsi yang beragam ini menyebabkan pentingnya memperhatikan tumbuhan berbunga sebagai habitat khusus bagi serangga dan jasad lainnya, terutama di pertanaman yang selama ini dominan sebagai ekosistem monokultur, misalnya pertanaman padi. Adanya tumbuhan berbunga akan mengundang berbagai jenis jasad yang dalam ekosistem tersebut memiliki bermacam-macam peran selain sebagai herbivora, misalnya sebagai musuh alami, polinator atau fungsi ekologis lainnya. Keberagaman fauna karena adanya tanaman berbunga akan menyebabkan terbentuknya ekosistem yang lebih stabil, yang pada gilirannya akan menjaga terjadinya keseimbangan komponen ekosistem. Kehadiran tumbuhan berbunga dengan demikian sangat penting untuk melestarikan populasi musuh alami di suatu ekosistem seperti agroekosistem.Kata kunci: konservasi, musuh alami, tumbuhan berbunga
