Plant diversity and its effects on populations of cucumber beetles and their natural enemies in a cucurbit agroecosystem
… (<i>Solidago</i> spp.), English plantain (<i>Plantago lanceolata</i>), and marjoram (<i>Origanum</i> spp.) in 1996. This study demonstrated the potential value of increasing the diversity of a cucumber field to control insect pests (and thus reduce pesticide useage) as well as suggested …
