Do sown flower strips boost wild pollinator abundance and pollination services in a spring-flowering crop? A case study from UK cider apple orchards (2017, background): “…such interventions, as apple is regarded as ‘greatly dependent’ on pollinators for fruit 111 set (Klein et al. 2007), and fruit quality (Garratt et al. 2014), and the semi-permanent 112 nature of orchards allows populations to build across seasons (Shackelford et al. 113 2013; Simon et al. 2010).”
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “Perennial fruit orchards are optimum habitats to promote conservation biological control (e.g., Brown, 1999; Landis et al., 2000; Simon et al., 2010).”
Pesticide-Induced Stress in Arthropod Pests for Optimized Integrated Pest Management Programs. (2016, background): “target arthropod pest species and natural enemies; pesticide exposure also affects different herbivorous species, including potential competitors, detritivorous species, and pollinators—organisms that potentially affect not only pest density but also crop yield (9, 10, 119).”
