Journal ArticleDOI
How agro-ecological research helps to address food security issues under new IPM and pesticide reduction policies for global crop production systems
TL;DR: Integrative and synergistic use of existing and new IPM technologies will help meet future food production needs more sustainably in developed and developing countries, in an era of reduced pesticide availability.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: This work identifies and integrate the key biological processes affecting natural enemies and their biological control function across local and regional scales, and considers the interactions, interdependencies and constraints that determine the outcome of CBC strategies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Deployment of diversity for enhanced crop function
TL;DR: Diversity can be reintroduced into cropping systems as a trait not only to confer stability but also to exploit synergies between component genotypes, compensating for potential performance losses against the best performing genotype in any given season or location.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comparative Nitrogen Balance and Productivity Analysis of Legume and Non-legume Supported Cropping Systems: The Potential Role of Biological Nitrogen Fixation.

TL;DR: BNF through grain and forage legumes has the potential to generate major benefit in terms of reducing or dispensing with the need for mineral N without loss of total output.
Journal ArticleDOI
Co-adaptation of seed dormancy and flowering time in the arable weed Capsella bursa-pastoris (shepherd's purse)
Peter E. Toorop,Rafael Campos Cuerva,Graham S. Begg,Bruna Locardi,Geoff R. Squire,Pietro P. M. Iannetta +5 more
TL;DR: In shepherd's purse, early flowering and reduced seed dormancy coincide and appear to be linked, and the weaker secondary dormancy of early-flowering genotypes confers a selective advantage in arable fields.
