“…Harpalus rufipes were most abundant in flower strips, whereas B. quadrimaculatum seemed to profit from companion plants. Armstrong and McKinlay (1997) observed that cabbage cultures with natural weed cover had more ground beetles than dense cabbage cultures with dense white clover undergrowth. In contrast, Purvis and Curry (1984) observed no correlation between partial weed cover and trap contents.…”

“…predatory insects, parasitoids), but little is known about the effects of compensation measures in vegetable crops. To enhance beneficial insects in cabbage cultures, intercropping with clover (e.g., Armstrong and McKinlay 1997;Finch and Kienegger 1997;Schellhorn and Sork 1997) or grass strips has been applied (e.g., Ryan et al 1980). Weedy cabbage fields were shown to contain less insect pests than weedfree cultures (Schellhorn and Sork 1997).…”

“…There may also be greater food resources from weed seeds and prey availability from invertebrates associated with organic manures (Purvis & Curry, 1984; Hokkanen & Holopainen, 1986; Basedow, 1994). Pterostichus melanarius is considered to be a hygrophilic species, and is generally more abundant where plant cover provides damp, shady conditions (Thiele, 1977; Armstrong & McKinlay, 1997). Additionally, the distribution and abundance of carabids in different habitat patches of a restored meadow in Ohio, USA, were thought to be a reflection of preferences by carabid species to the thermal environment (Crist & Ahern, 1999).…”

“…Carabid bettles considered as bio control agent of different crop pests and polyphagus on wide variety of plants [23], [24], [25]. During our study carabid collected from the agricultural fields have very low weed infestation due to their predation on weed seeds [26] intercropping enhance the beneficial role of carabid bettles. [27] suggested that carabid bettles are evaluated as potential control agent of economically important arthropods in forest and agricultural ecosystems.…”
