  5. 30. The role of agroforestry tree species in biocontrol of the cabbage pest Plutella xylostella : a field study in Kenya

    Kandidat-uppsats, SLU/Dept. of Ecology

    Författare :Nadja Kvick Nastaj; [2020]
    Nyckelord :agroforestry; Plutella xylostella; biocontrol;

    Sammanfattning : Pest control in agriculture is a necessity and the use of chemicals is the method by choice for most farmers. But the use of chemicals comes with a price; the pests develops resistance and the chemicals pollutes the environment. It is therefore of urgent importance to shift pest control from chemicals to other methods. LÄS MER
