Research Project:
Impact of Bioenergy Crops on Pests, Natural Enemies and Pollinators in Agricultural and Non-Crop Landscapes.
Location: Pest Management and Biocontrol Research
Project Number: 2020-22620-022-03-R
Project Type: Reimbursable
Start Date: Mar 1, 2011
End Date: Feb 28, 2017
Objective:
Quantify the impact of the introduction of bioenergy feedstock crops (canola and switchgrass) on the pest, natural enemy and pollinator complex in the Arkansas and Oklahoma agroecosystem.
Approach:
We will study various aspects of arthropod dispersal in complex agroecosystems containing potential biofuel crops using protein mark-capture methods.
