The microclimate of corn and bean cropping systems: Its relationship with Dalbulus maidis, some aphids, and the diseases they transmit
Abstract
dc:descriptionDifferent vegetated surfaces create their very own microclimates. Mixed cropping systems rather than monocultures constitute a traditional planting technique in the tropics, and it has been observed that mixed crops are usually less prone to damage from pathogens carried by insects than monocultures. Microclimatic differences between crops are thought to be partly responsible.
