Effects of Cover Crops on Arthropod Communities in Tea Plantations

摘要：

Tea is a major economic crop and consumed by billions of people but, contrary to perceptions of tea as a health-promoting drink, current production is reliant heavily on synthetic insecticide use.To explore scope for promoting biological control, this study examined the responses of invertebrates to two cover crop treatments, comparing them with a bare earth and conventional weedy groundcover in a Chinese field experiment over two years.
