Is there a synergy between distance from the hedge and intercrop for pest biocontrol?

Identifying alternative cropping systems: a major challenge in agroecology

Promoting relevant management practices of semi-natural elements, i.e. hedgerows

Increase crop diversity both in timeand space (rotation and intercropping respectively)

Combination = synergy ?

To achieve sustainability, we need to identify alternative cropping systems that can both ensure sufficient levels of food production and reduction in pesticide inputs while maintaining ecosystem integrity and simultaneously delivering multiple ecosystem services.

How to promote biological control by natural enemies in crop fields ?

Field surveys of pest abundance and effectiveness of biological control

Pea Wheat Intercrop 0

Hedgerow

140m

One field separated in 3 blocks: -Pea (sole crop)

-Wheat (sole crop)

- Pea and Wheat (intercrop) Random sampling design according to the distance from the hedgerow.

Prey (aphids, slugs, eggs of

Sitona) and weed seeds were

sticked on sandpaper cards.

flora surveys and cards position

Intercropping creates structures of mixed plant populations with "barrier" or "dilution of resources" effects which can reduce the pressure of pathogens, weeds and pests compared with that exerted on sole crops.

What is intercropping ?

Pea bruchids were sampled on 10 cloves infields, at each distance. The number of bruchids and parasitoids were

counted. Pea infested by bruchids Aphids sticked

Weed seeds sticked

This work was conducted under the BQR project HaiesCAFARR.

Absence of a global synergy between distance from the hedgerow and intercrop in supporting biocontrol of pests and weeds

Aphid predation Slug predation Weed seed predation Sitona eggs predation Bruchids predation Nb of pest enemies Distance + - - ns - + Crop [pea] ns - + - - + Crop [intercrop] ns - - na - + Interaction - ns +/- + + -

Results of GLMMs including Distance, Type of Crop (sole crops vs intercrop) and their interaction as fixed effect and the position of the survey as random effect (when available). na: not available; ns: not significant; +/- significant but depending on the weed species considered.

A great variability in pest biocontrol was observed. This study calls for a

deepened multi-species approach in order to find trade-offs between

agricultural practices and field edge management to optimize regulating

ecosystem services such as pest biocontrol.
