2002 journal article

Effects of production practices on soil-borne entomopathogens in western North Carolina vegetable systems

ENVIRONMENTAL ENTOMOLOGY, 31(1), 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
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 journal article

Effects of production system on vegetable arthropods and their natural enemies

AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT, 93(1-3), 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
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 journal article

Effects of vegetable production system on epigeal arthropod populations

AGRICULTURE ECOSYSTEMS & ENVIRONMENT, 93(1-3), 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
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)
