Field Margins

Margin vegetation adjacent to the sustainable treatments has been sown with species-rich wildflowPhotograph of a thistle flowerer mixes to increase diversity in the field margins for attracting natural enemies and pollinators. The change in distribution and abundance patterns of these insect groups will be monitored within the margins and into the cropped area across both treatments. These surveys will be related to studies of predation efficiency within the cropped area.
