Post-graduate - Ingrid Rencken: Role of native vegetation in harbouring beneficial insects and reducing insect pest damage in cotton

Rencken, Ingrid (University Of New England, )

Beneficial insects (generalist predators and parasitoids) occur within cotton agro ecosystems in Australia, but farming systems do not always encourage their survival.
