Fine-Tuning Farm Management to Enhance Specific Beneficials

Fine Tuning Farm Management to Enhance Specific Beneficials

The principles discussed in this book will lead to a healthier, more diverse farm system overall. As you identify and address specific pest problems, you can fine-tune your farming practices to attract, retain or enhance populations of beneficials for your specific situation. Answer the questions about the specific pest, its needs and habits. Much of this information is still being developed or confirmed by scientists and farmers. Even though answers aren’t always at hand, a body of knowledge that farmers can apply is building.
