The conservation biological control emerges as an indispensable component of sustainable development of crops both outdoors, either fruit or vegetable as crops under coat. It is well known that isolation and loss of semi-natural habitats reduces biodiversity in agricultural landscapes, with negative consequences for biological pest control.
Thus, conservation biological control involves modifying the environment and manipulate the habitat to encourage and enhance the activity of natural enemies. But it is necessary to note that some plants, far from contributing to pest control, on the other hand can promote their presence or act as a reservoir of the main viruses that affect crops. Therefore, for a long time, the project RECOVER 2020. Milestone 2.2.4 New technologies to increase the efficiency of biological pest control in areas of greenhouses, we studied how native plants can be used as shelter for beneficial arthropods, acting as barriers phytosanitary and contributing to a significant improvement of the landscape with all that it entails certain environmental benefits and contribute to improving the service that biodiversity can provide to maintaining a sustainable agricultural ecosystem.
This application is a practical guide for those interested in increasing biodiversity in a functional way on their crops, by establishing hedges or small islands of biodiversity known as "green infrastructure". The establishment of hedgerows, green corridors, islands of native vegetation around our crops will allow us to find in nature and keep close to many allies, whether arthropods, reptiles or birds that serve as true phytosanitary barriers holding back the free dispersion pests of crop to crop. This is not to increase biodiversity itself, but to do so mainly enhances the presence of species that are useful to us, providing them with all the resources they need to establish whether food (pollen, nectar, or alternative prey) , shelter or breeding sites.
