Aphid suppression by natural enemies in hedgerows surrounding greenhouses in southern Spain
Rodríguez, Estefanía; Clemente-Orta, Gemma; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo; Gutiérrez, Irene; der Blom, Jan van; González González, Mónica (2023)Southern Spain is home to the most intensively grown protected crop area in the EU. The area is currently characterized by greenhouse monocultures and a homogenous landscape. The establishment of hedgerows among greenhouses ...

Direct and indirect effects of planting density, nitrogenous fertilizer and host plant resistance on rice herbivores and their natural enemies
Horgan, Finbarr G.; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo; Stuart, Alexander M.; Villegas, James M.; Peñalver-Cruz, Ainara; Mundaca-Ortega, Enrique; Pérez, Marivic O.; Bernal, Carmencita C.; Almazan, Maria Liberty P.; Fame Ramal, Angelee (2022)In rice ecosystems, seeding densities can be adjusted to compensate for lower nitrogen levels that reduce GHG emissions, or to increase farm profitability. However, density-induced changes to plant anatomy could affect ...

Diversified rice farms with vegetable plots and flower strips are associated with fewer pesticide applications in the Philippines
Horgan, Finbarr G.; Mundaca-Ortega, Enrique; Hadi, Buyung A. R.; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo (2023)Ecological engineering is defined as the design of sustainable ecosystems for the benefit of both human society and the environment. In Southeast Asia, researchers have applied ecological engineering by diversifying farms ...

Effects of intraspecific competition and larval size on bioconversion of apple pomace inoculated with black soldier fly
Horgan, Finbarr G.; Launders, Michael; Mundaca-Ortega, Enrique; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo (2022)Waste from apple juice and cider industries (pomace) compares poorly against spent grains and other relatively high-nutrient wastes as a substrate for bioconversion by the black soldier fly (BSF: Hermetia illucens). However, ...

Escaping the lock-in to pesticide use: do vietnamese farmers respond to flower strips as a restoration practice or pest management action?
Horgan, Finbarr G.; Vu, Quynh; Mundaca-Ortega, Enrique; Dabholkar, Shweta; Davis, Mark; Settele, Josef; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo (2023)Ecological engineering using linear flower strips is proposed as an alternative to insecticide-based rice pest management. However, its success depends on farmers’ appreciations of related interventions as part of an ...

Heterosis for resistance to insect herbivores in a 3-line hybrid rice system
Horgan, Finbarr G.; Bernal, Carmencita C.; Fame Ramal, Angelee; Almazan, Maria Liberty P.; Mundaca-Ortega, Enrique; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo (2024)Three-line hybrid rice is produced by crossing male sterile (A line) rice with a fertility-restorer (R line). Fertile lines (B lines) are also required to maintain A line seed for breeding programs. We used a range of ...

Spent coffee grounds applied as a top-dressing or incorporated into the soil can improve plant growth while reducing slug herbivory
Horgan, Finbarr G.; Floyd, Dylan; Mundaca-Ortega, Enrique; Crisol-Martínez, Eduardo (2022)Between 8 and 15 million tons of spent coffee grounds (SCG) are produced as global waste each year. To reduce waste to landfill, SCG are proposed as a carbon and nutrient source for degraded soils. SCG contain caffeine and ...
