Use of natural enemies to keep unwanted pest populations low
Biological Control
![Page 4: Managing natural enemies Anna Fiedler and Doug Landis Michigan State University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649d885503460f94a6cfe2/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• Predators: eat many prey in a lifetime, feeding both as young and as adults.
• Parasitoids: specialized insects that develop as a young in one host, eventually killing it.
• Pathogens: nematodes, viruses, bacteria, fungi, protozoans.
Three types of Natural Enemies
![Page 5: Managing natural enemies Anna Fiedler and Doug Landis Michigan State University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649d885503460f94a6cfe2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
• Classical: introduction of non-native natural enemy to control a pest population.
• Augmentative: periodically increase natural enemy population with an artificially reared release.
• Conservation: maintain or enhance existing natural enemy populations.

Use native plants to provide beneficial insects with nectar and pollen.
Decrease pesticide use and increase pollination.

Benefits–Reliable seed or plant sources–Prolific floral display –Previous success in other locations
Disadvantages–Do not enhance native biodiversity–May be invasive

Benefits–Enhance native biodiversity–Re-creation of imperiled habitats–Less likely to be invasive–Adapted to local climate–Habitat permanency
Disadvantages–Greater initial cost–Longer establishment time

Incorporating native plants on your farm
• Use local native plants.
• Choose several colors of flowers.
• Plant flowers in clumps.
• Select flowers to provide bloom through the season.
• More flower area = more beneficial insects!
• Include native grasses for structural support
![Page 16: Managing natural enemies Anna Fiedler and Doug Landis Michigan State University.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022070415/56649d885503460f94a6cfe2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Beneficial Insect Friendly Practices
• Provide nesting and overwintering resources.
• Avoid insecticide use.
• Provide flowers through growing season.

Site Preparation
Yard – Treat with roundup fall or mid-spring – Smother 2-3 months when growing
Typical ag field– 1 year fallow– Repeated light tillings
Weedy site (old field)– Burn or plow– 1 year fallow

Maintenance
Weed your native planting
OR
1) Mow a seeding 2-4 times in year one 1-2 times in year two
2) Burn or mow annually
