Who eat pollen beetle and pod-midge larvae in #OSR? Camera traps can give you an answer! 🧐
Check out our new paper: https://t.co/uKXFNoE9HR
AND our review on the use of cameras to identify predators of insects in #AFEntomology 🪲🎥https://t.co/5RLqDmULQY
Join us for our next online talk, taking place on Wed 13 November.
We are pleased to welcome three authors from a Special Issue in @AFEntomology on Advances in Insect Biomonitoring for Agriculture and Forestry.

Members heard how Machine Learning is used to predict changes in butterfly and moth distribution in the UK based on historical data records. They also heard how parasitoid wasps can combat crop pests and help protect oil seed rape
@RoyEntSoc Last talk of the day from @CordaGaetan! Harvested area of OSR has dropped in UK and flea beetles reduce yields further - can companion crops help? Companion cropping reduces flea beetle abundance and feeding damage but extent depends on companion crop and density effects!#SusAg23
Very happy to find some nice big dung beetle larvae today 🤩🪲 these little friends turn dung into soil nutrients, reduce breeding grounds for parasites and pest flies, reduce carbon emissions, and provide food for farm wildlife 🥰 @Rothamsted@DungBeetleFarms#farming#beetle
Our new paper on #oilseedrape companion / mulching and #CSFB is out in Pest Management Science!

Lovely day out for @Rothamsted agro-ecology group @RealFarmED really inspiring work demonstrating and communicating #regenag#regenerative practices 🌾🌿⚘️🌱🍎🥬 and fantastic menu too 😋

🐞In this new post, @BellecLaura_ discusses how young buds are more profitable than older ones for pollen beetles and her journey to becoming an ecologist🏵️

#EIPabstract#Fieldtrials in the UK and Germany show that #OSR companion #croppingsystem can protect the crop from cabbage stem flea #beetle adult attacks. They show for the first time that not only #legumes but also #cereals can have a strong protective effect on the crop
Linking crop yields with functional biodiversity @PlecasMilan presents our work on developing bespoke #wildflower margins for #pollination & pest regulation in #OSR Different pollinators prefer different plant species - do we need regionally suited mixtures? @CordaGaetan@jmblnc
Agronomic practices for in-crop generation of ecosystem services @CordaGaetan presents our work on #PlantDiversification via companion planting to protect #OSR from #CSFB - it works... but is variable & we need to understand mechanisms @Rothamsted@EcoStackH2020 @Julian_Winkler
Reducing yield decline at field edges: what can your combine yield monitor data tell us?
