Secondary plants used in biological control: A review (2012, background): “…systems (Ripper 1944; Juniper and Southwood 1986; van Lenteren 1995; van Lenteren and Woets 1998; Altieri 1999; Cortesero et al. 2000; Halaji et al. 2000; Wratten et al. 2000; Gurr et al. 2004;Wäckers et al. 2005; Pontin et al. 2006; Vattala et al. 2006; Straub et al. 2008; Lundgren et al. 2009).”
Multi-scale effects of landscape complexity and crop management on pollen beetle parasitism rate (2011, background): “It is known that sugar feeding strongly increases fecundity and lifespan of different parasitoids (Wäckers et al. 2005).”
Companion Planting and Insect Pest Control (2013, background): “Many natural enemies including predators and parasitoids require non-prey food items in order to develop and reproduce [100-102].”
Wildflower plantings enhance the abundance of natural enemies and their services in adjacent blueberry fields (2015, background): “These plants provide floral resources that are utilized by natural enemies as primary and alternative food sources (Wäckers et al., 2005; Jonsson et al., 2010), and can enhance their longevity, fecundity, and potential control of pests (Büchi, 2002; Berndt and Wratten, 2005; Lee and Heimpel, 2008).”
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “Gradually, researchers have come to acknowledge that non-prey foods such as nectar, honeydew or pollen influence many life processes critical to the success of parasitoids and predators alike (Wackers et al., 2005; Lundgren, 2009).”
Biological Control of Insect Pests in Agroecosystems: Effects of Crop Management, Farming Systems, and Seminatural Habitats at the Landscape Scale: A Review (2010, background): “Seminatural habitats also act as sources of pollen and nectar, which are essential for many species (Pickett and Bugg, 1998; Wäckers et al., 2005).”
