Landscapes that work for biodiversity and people (2018, background): “, pests and diseases spread more slowly in spatially or temporally heterogeneous crop systems, and such systems also support predator populations that keep pests in check (80, 81)], and enhancement of soil biota and fertility (82).”
THE INSURANCE VALUE OF BIODIVERSITY IN THE PROVISION OF ECOSYSTEM SERVICES (2005, background): “…and agroforestry (Ewel 1986, Fridley 2001, Harper 1977, Hector et al. 2002, Loreau 1998b, Smale et al. 1998, Trenbath 1974, Vandermeer 1990, Zhu et al. 2000). and can be observed in experiments.10 They are not necessarily mutually exclusive, but they may be simultaneously or sequentially…”
Reducing food poverty by increasing agricultural sustainability in developing countries (2003, background): “Another project in Yunnan, China has shown the value of mixtures of rice, both in reducing disease incidence and increasing yields (Zhu et al., 2000; Wolfe, 2000).”
Facilitation and sustainable agriculture: a mechanistic approach to reconciling crop production and conservation (2016, background): “A proposed mechanism is crop genetic diversity maintaining different physiological strains of pathogens, preventing resistant cultivars from dominating the pathogen population (Zhu et al. 2000).”
Effects of grassland plant species diversity, abundance, and composition on foliar fungal disease (2002, background): “1713 Key words: biodiversity and ecosystem functioning; functional composition; fungal pathogens; global change; habitat simplification; host density; macroecology; parasites; plant community; plant pathogens; polyculture vs. monoculture; species richness.”
Applying ecological principles of crop cultivation in large-scale algal biomass production (2014, neutral): “2% compared to 20% in monoculture [132].”
Comprehending crystalline β-carotene accumulation by comparing engineered cell models and the natural carotenoid-rich system of citrus (2011, neutral): “Concomitantly with the publication of this remarkable report (Zhu et al., 2000), field trials using brassinosteroids as ‘agro-chemicals’ led to the conclusion that these phytohormones can protect crop plants, such as rice and wheat, from diseases (Khripach et al.”
Strategies using genes for non-durable disease resistance (2002, background): “A recent example of the deployment of cultivar mixtures in providing crop resistance is provided by the control of rice blast (caused by Magnaporthe grisea) in Yunnan province, China (Zhu et al., 2000).”
Managing Increasing Environmental Risks Through Agro-Biodiversity and Agri-Environmental Policies (2010, neutral): “…at large in terms of positively inﬂuencing the 1 A third strategy, which is not explicitly considered here, is the use of risk-reducing inputs into the agricultural production process, such as e.g. irrigation, fertilizer, pesticides, or enhanced (through breeding or genetic modiﬁcation) varieties.”
The Evolution of Agriculture in Insects (2005, background): “…Shipton 1977, Mitchell et al. 2002, Mundt 2002, Peacock et al. 2001, Piper et al. 1996, Wolfe 1985), and (b) decreased resistance to fast-evolving diseases due to decreased genetic variability in the crop (Barrett 1981, Gustafson et al. 2003, Hamilton et al. 1990, Jaenike 1978, Zhu et al. 2000).”
Looking Ahead in Rice Disease Research and Management (2004, positive): “To take functional prediction one step further, can genomic tools be used to identify suitable combinations of genotypes to provide complementary functions? We have already mentioned the successful use of mixed plantings to achieve blast control in Yunnan, China (Zhu et al., 2000).”
