Habitat management involving manipulation of farmland vegetation can exert direct
suppressive effects on pests and promote natural enemies. Advances in theory and practical …

Ecologists and farmers often have contrasting perceptions about the value of natural habitat
in agricultural production landscapes, which so far has been little acknowledged in ecology …

Conservation agriculture (CA) is based on minimum soil disturbance, permanent soil cover,
