Predator insects

Beneficial insects are any of a number of species of insects that perform valued services like pollination and pest control.  The concept of beneficial is subjective and only arises considering desired outcomes from a human perspective.  In farming and agriculture, where the goal is to raise selected crops, insects that hinder the production process are classified as pests, while insects that assist production are considered beneficial.

Encouraging beneficial insects, by providing suitable food sources for them will be very helpful for the gardener.

The praying mantis, as well as bees, are beneficial as pollinators, facilitating propagation and fruit production for many plants.  Some bees are predatory or parasitic and are proficient at killing pest insects.  Bees can be attracted by many companion plants, especially bee balm and pineapple sage for honeybees or Queen Anne's lace and parsley.

Ladybugs are generally thought of as beneficial because they eat large quantities of aphids, mites and other insects that feed on various plants.

Lesson 1.0 INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE

  FOOD FOREST COURSE AGRO -ECONOMY Lesson 1.0  INTRODUCING - FOOD FORESTS TO FEED THE FUTURE As the world celebrates International Day of Forests on 21st March, one avenue to explore is the role that food forests can play in providing a rich source of nutrition for humans while enhancing biodiversity and nourishing the  soil . Forests are some of the most  productive , biodiverse and self-sustaining ecosystems on earth. Yet, deforestation, an indicator measured by the  Food Sustainability Index , destroys these rich centres of life at a rate of  10 m hectares per year . Driven by demand for monoculture crops such as  soya  (primarily for livestock feed) and  palm oil  (a widely used ingredient in food-processing and cosmetics), deforestation presents a major problem for forest ecosystems. But what if forests and food production could be reconciled in a novel way? Food forests may be the answer. Human-designed  food forests ...
