Perennial flower strips for pest control in fruit orchards

The perennial character and diversified structure of orchards make them interesting habitats for biodiversity and potentially attractive for both pollinators and natural enemies of pests. Diversifying orchards with non-crop vegetation such as flowering strips can provide additional opportunities to maintain and develop these insect populations and by so doing optimise ecosystem services. This article, adapted from the technical guide 'Perennial flower strips in fruit orchards' published by the EcoOrchard project (ERA-Net CORE Organic Plus), looks at advantages of sown flower strips, species selection and plant attributes, soil preparation, sowing, cutting and mulching, establishment costs, potential drawbacks, and benefits of particular groups of natural enemies promoted by flower strips.
