Beneficial entomofauna in the crops plantings
The role of entomophilous crops in increasing the number, biodiversity and efficiency of entomophages and natural pollinators in the agricultural landscape is considered. The results of the study of the distribution, the daily activity of insects when feeding on flowering plants and its dependence on hydrothermal factors are presented. It has been shown that in the marginal lanes of crops, the efficiency of pollinators and the number of entomophages increase substantially. To stabilize the agrolandscapes during the transition to biological farming and limit the use of insecticides, it is proposed to expand the crops of entomophilous crops, their strip crops up to 300 m wide in alternation with entomophilous cultures.
