Farmscaping As An IPM Tool in Organic Vegetable Production.

Farmscaping involves habitat manipulation with flowering insectary plants. This IPM strategy promotes biodiversity, reduces chemical usage and supports pollinators and natural enemies.  Because farmscaping deals with biointensive and low-risk pest management input, it is highly compatible with organic farming. This paper presents some baseline data that could be used by small farm vegetable producers particularly those transitioning to organic production.
