2002 article

Effects of Production Practices on Soil-Borne Entomopathogens in Western North Carolina Vegetable Systems

Hummel, R. L., Walgenbach, J. F., Barbercheck, M. E., Kennedy, G. G., Hoyt, G. D., & Arellano, C. (2002, February 1). Environmental Entomology, Vol. 31, pp. 84–91.

By: R. Hummel n, J. Walgenbach n , M. Barbercheck n, G. Kennedy n , G. Hoyt n & C. Arellano n

author keywords: conservation tillage; biological control; entomopathogens; sustainable agriculture
topics (OpenAlex): Entomopathogenic Microorganisms in Pest Control; Insect Resistance and Genetics; Nematode management and characterization studies
TL;DR: Type of tillage appeared to be the primary factor affecting survival of endemic soil entomopathogens in the authors' system, but other factors, such as pesticide use and type of ground cover, can negate the positive effects of strip-tillage. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 article

Effects of production system on vegetable arthropods and their natural enemies

Hummel, R. L., Walgenbach, J. F., Hoyt, G. D., & Kennedy, G. G. (2002, December 1). Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, Vol. 93, pp. 165–176.

By: R. Hummel n, J. Walgenbach n , G. Hoyt n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: sustainable agriculture; Lycopersicon esculentum; conservation tillage; organic production; IPM
topics (OpenAlex): Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Insect Pest Control Strategies; Plant Parasitism and Resistance
TL;DR: Foliar insect problems in commercial vegetable production may be associated predominantly with insecticide input and use of intercropping, however, the long term effects of tillage and crop rotation remain to be seen. (via Semantic Scholar)

2002 article

Effects of vegetable production system on epigeal arthropod populations

Hummel, R. L., Walgenbach, J. F., Hoyt, G. D., & Kennedy, G. G. (2002, December 1). Agriculture Ecosystems & Environment, Vol. 93, pp. 177–188.

By: R. Hummel n, J. Walgenbach n , G. Hoyt n & G. Kennedy n 

author keywords: conservation tillage; epigeal arthropods; biological control; IPM; intercropping
topics (OpenAlex): Insect Pest Control Strategies; Insect-Plant Interactions and Control; Insect and Pesticide Research
TL;DR: Ground cover generally enhanced abundance of carabids and lycosids, while tillage type, pesticide use and crop rotation had different effects, and two distinct patterns of seasonal activity were observed for carabid beetles and Lycosid spiders. (via Semantic Scholar)
