“…To create such a resilient system that would reduce the ecological, social, and economical negative consequences, including the consequence of recent stagnation or even a decline in crop yields (Dainese et al 2019), and would overcome lock-in effects, a full redesign of the entire agricultural system is urgently needed and should be actively promoted (Lamine 2011;Meynard et al 2012;Kremen and Merenlender 2018a;Haan et al 2021). This redesign should seek to incorporate agroecological diversification practices such as IPM, intercropping, cover cropping, and crop rotation, which all indirectly enhance insect biodiversity (Hatt et al 2016;Kremen and Merenlender 2018b;Samways et al 2020;Lundin et al 2021). Additionally to the production-oriented and field-based measures, it is essential to implement measures which promote biodiversity more directly by enhancing the semi-natural structure at the landscape scale (Samways et al 2020;Lundin et al 2021).…”

How farmers think about insects: perceptions of biodiversity, biodiversity loss and attitudes towards insect-friendly farming practices

et al. 2021

An alarming decrease of insects in number and variety calls for measures of protection and promotion, since insects are crucial for the functioning of ecosystems and provide multiple ecosystem services. Agricultural landscapes can provide vast insect habitats if they are managed accordingly. However, little is known about farmers’ problem awareness and attitudes toward insect biodiversity loss, related farming practises, or alternative acceptable insect-friendly solutions. To fill these research gaps, this paper aimed to reveal farmers’ perceptions and attitudes regarding these aspects in two German case studies. We conducted 23 semi-structured interviews with farmers in 2019 and qualitatively analysed them using semantic web analysis. Farmers mostly reported awareness of insects’ ecosystem services and disservices related to agricultural production rather than mentioning the holistic ecological importance of insects. About half of the farmers confirmed insect loss based on their own observations, whereas a similar number doubted there had been a decrease of insects. Most farmers are open-minded towards insect-friendly measures if financially compensated. The farmers also mentioned a joint societal responsibility for insects, economic pressure on farmers to use pesticides due to global market prices, and unbalanced agricultural policies. This study revealed in-depth insights into farmers’ thinking about insects and how farmers contextualise arguments. Our results identified overlaps in farmers’ mental models, which paves the way for co-designing insect-friendly farming practices in landscape labs. Local transformation efforts can also demonstrate new pathways for a shift on the higher levels.

“…On the other hand, the expanding use of physical control measures, for example netting to exclude pest insects, can have a serious negative impact on pollinating insects [25,26]. In order to facilitate synergies between pest control practices and pollination services, the concept of IPPM was introduced and a systematic framework for this concept was recently proposed [9,11,22]. Implementation of IPPM involves the combined use of one or more intercompatible actions for pest and pollinator management, with giving priority to the actions that aim to prevent pest-and pollinator-imposed yield gaps in the long run.…”

Recently, the concept of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) was further extended into Integrated Pest and Pollinator Management (IPPM). Implementation of IPPM strategies entails the combination of actions for pest and pollinator management providing complementary or synergistic benefits for yield and/or quality of the harvest. The aim of this study was to examine IPPM elements (i.e., mixed hedgerow, nesting boxes for mason bees, Osmia spp.) and demonstrate their impact in the practical context of modern commercial fruit cultivation in a 4-year case study in an intensive ‘Conference’ pear orchard. The outcomes of visual observations during transect walks and molecular analysis of pollen collected by mason bees, showed the importance of additional floral resources for the presence of mason bees and other pollinating insects in the orchard environment. Pear quality assessments indicated that insect-mediated pollination had a significant positive impact, with a tendency for higher quality pears in the close vicinity of Osmia nesting boxes. However, despite the fact that pear pollen was also detected in Osmia spp. nest cells, the amount and frequency of pear pollen collection for their nest built-up turned out to be rather low. In the same intensive pear orchard studied for pollination effects, we simultaneously demonstrate the impact of a mixed hedgerow to enhance integrated pest control.

“…O MIP é um programa de manejo que integra o uso de múltiplas táticas para controle de pragas, onde as abordagens enfatizadas vão desde a análise das condições do agroecossistema, o monitoramento dos níveis populacionais de insetos, a até a utilização de controle cultural, biológico, comportamental, genético, varietal e quando necessário, o uso do controle químico (Lundin et al, 2021). Estes últimos, quando utilizados, devem ser somente aqueles registrados no Ministério da Agricultura Pecuária e Abastecimento (MAPA) para a cultura.…”

Inseticidas em pomares de citros e sua seletividade sobre o parasitoide >i<Trichogramma atopovirilia>/i< (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)

Insecticides in citrus orchards and their selectivity to the parasitoid Trichogramma atopovirilia (Hymenoptera: Trichogrammatidae)The microwasps of the genus Trichogramma are parasitoids widely used in integrated pest management (IPM) programs, which integrates different pest control tactics, such as chemical and biological methods. However, it is important that these parasitoids can establish themselves in the agroecosystem and for this, the insecticides used in the agricultural environment cannot negatively impact these insects so that their beneficial capacity is not reduced. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate the selectivity of insecticides used in citrus orchards on the parasitoid Trichogramma atopovirilia, as well as the lethal effect and persistence of the products to determine the effects over time. The tests were conducted with the insecticides: bifenthrin, beta-cyfluthrin, diflubenzuron, malathion and tebufenozide, which are registered for citrus fruit borer control in citrus groves. In the pupae experiment, these pesticides were sprayed on eggs of Ephestia kuehniella parasitized by T. atopovirilia, and to verify the ability to parasitize on eggs with residues, adult females were exposed to eggs treated with the insecticides. In the lethal effect test, citrus leaves were dipped in insecticide solution and after that the females were exposed for 24 hours. In the persistence test, the insecticides were sprayed on citrus seedlings and at 5, 15, and 30 days after application leaves were collected and the exposure to females was made. There was a reduction in parasitism capacity in the treatments with bifenthrin, beta-cyfluthrin and malathion. Adult emergence from pupae after exposure to the insecticides bifenthrin and malathion was negatively impacted. Similarly, in the lethal effect experiment, bifenthrin, beta-cyfluthrin and malathion caused the highest mortality of females. Malathion was classified as slightly persistent, and the other insecticides as short-lived. Diflubenzuron and tebufenozide were harmless to the parasitoids in all experiments. The results obtained will contribute to the selection of selective products to use in the field that do not cause adverse impacts on biological control agents.
