The Design and Utility of Native Insectary Plantings
Roger seeks to promote the utilization of native plants in croplands by creating habitat for predatory and parasitic insects. Focusing on ecological and entomological concepts in this farmscape project, Roger will use a diversified mix of native herbs, shrubs, and trees to create environments to facilitate biological control of crop pests and enhance native habitat. Roger seeks to investigate the effectiveness of the species by tracking their propagation, establishment, and phenology as well as the capacity to which they serve as a low-maintenance perennial habitat within ecologically sustainable cropping systems.
