Manure Boosts Beneficial Predators in Agriculture
Fertilisers and pest control are central elements of agriculture and have a direct impact on the composition of species found in crop fields. Supported by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group and helping hands from the University of Innsbruck are engaged in field research, using ecological and molecular methods to find out which type of fertiliser is most sustainable in maintaining beneficial predators’ appetite for pests.
