Full Description:
Beetle Banks are permanent habitat for predacious ground beetles in cropping systems. Through a collaboration with Oregon vegetable farmers, and the Farmscaping for Beneficials Project at IPPC we are exploring on-farm methods of beetle bank establishment and their effects on ground beetle populations.
Find news from the field, examples of farms with Beetle Banks, information on farming with beneficial insects and how to create your own Beetle Bank.
