“…In certain intercropping systems, synergistic effects were observed up to a strip width of eight meters [39], while in other systems, positive effects already declined with strip widths of one meter [40]. Nowadays, the majority of farm machinery in China has a working width of less than two meters.…”

“…The purpose of this study was to identify mechanisms underlying the response of the Mexican bean beetle (Epilachna varivestis Mulsant [Coleoptera: Coccinellidae]) to snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L. [Fabaceae]) grown alone or intercropped with corn (Zea mays L. [Poaceae]). The influence of plant texture (i.e., plant patch size, density, and species diversity) on movement patterns of adult bean beetles has been well documented (Capinera et al 1985, Turchin 1986, McGuinness 1987, Andow 1990. In this study, we assessed separately the effects of host plant and total plant density, habitat structural complexity, and plant species composition on the bean beetle and its natural enemies.…”

“…In intercropped strawberry with broad beans, F. occidentalis populations were kept below economic threshold levels (Gonzalez-Zamora et al, 1994). Lower densities of F. occidentalis occurred on sweet pepper in a tomatosweet pepper intercropping in comparison with the monocropping (Nihoul & Hance, 1994), and in a pinto beans -sweet corn intercropping system (Capinera et al, 1985). Effects of intercropping with clover undersown on thrips infestations in vegetable crops are also evident.…”

“…Effects of intercropping with clover undersown on thrips infestations in vegetable crops are also evident. So far, factors that were identified in suppression of F. occidentalis in intercropping, were related with predator activity (Letourneau & Altieri, 1983;Capinera et al, 1985). Whether reduction of pest populations was due to reduced colonisation, survival or reproduction is still unknown for the above mentioned thrips/intercropping combinations.…”
