DOI: 10.1016/j.biocontrol.2018.03.007
Abstract: Abstract Better knowledge of natural enemy communities and their relative contribution to biological control is needed to design ecology-based pest management in agro-ecosystems. Here, we investigated the arthropod communities of pearl millet-based agro-ecosystems in sub-Saharan… read more here.
