Nontarget Impacts of Herbicides on Spiders in Orchards

Rebecca A. Schmidt-Jeffris et al.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the nontarget effects of seven herbicides commonly used in orchards in Washington state (USA) on three commonly found spider species. The results showed that the herbicides had varying effects on spider mortality, spider movement, and prey consumption. The study also found that spiders were less sensitive to herbicides compared to beneficial insects.

Effect of Production System (Organic versus Conventional) on Olive Fruit and Oil Yields and Oil Quality Parameters in the Messara Valley, Crete, Greece; Results from a 3-Year Farm Survey

Nikolaos Volakakis et al.

Summary: The study compares the differences in fruit and oil yields and quality parameters between organic and conventional farms. The results show that although farms in Messara Plain have higher yields, there is not a significant difference in yields between organic and conventional production, and organic production may have slightly higher yields. Additionally, there is no substantial difference in olive oil quality between the two production systems.

Effect of Different Cover Crops on Suppression of the Weed Oxalis pes-caprae L., Soil Nutrient Availability, and the Performance of Table Olive Trees 'Kalamon' cv. in Crete, Greece

Nikolaos Volakakis et al.

Summary: Winter cover crops play a crucial role in organic olive production by increasing nitrogen supply, reducing weed competition, and improving yields. This study compared the effects of different cover crops on weed suppression, soil fertility, and productivity in an experimental table olive orchard. The results showed that the vetch/barley/pea mixture had the strongest suppression on Oxalis pes-caprae, the dominant weed species. Rhizobium inoculation of vetch seeds resulted in lower vetch establishment and better weed suppression. There was no significant difference in fruit yield among cover crop treatments, but the fruit weight was higher when cover crops were established from untreated vetch seeds or the vetch/barley/pea mixture. Overall, legume cover crops did not affect fruit yields. The findings suggest that the recommendation to establish legume-based cover crops every year may need to be revised.

Indirect Effect of Pesticides on Insects and Other Arthropods

Francisco Sanchez-Bayo

Summary: Pesticides released into the environment can have indirect effects on target and non-target species through impacts on other species and ecological mechanisms, often leading to unintended consequences. These effects may include pest outbreaks, reduction in predator populations, and alterations in ecosystem structure.

Pesticides and Soil Invertebrates: A Hazard Assessment

Tari Gunstone et al.

Summary: Agricultural pesticide use poses significant hazards to soil invertebrates, with the majority of tested parameters showing negative effects. This highlights the importance of considering soil organisms in risk analysis of pesticides that may contaminate soil, and taking measures to minimize harm to soil organisms and the ecosystem services they provide.

Weed cover controls soil and water losses in rainfed olive groves in Sierra de Enguera, eastern Iberian Peninsula

Artemi Cerd et al.

Summary: Alternative crop management practices, such as weed cover, have shown positive effects in reducing soil erosion and increasing soil organic matter content in olive orchards. Plantations with weed cover exhibited better soil quality and reduced water losses compared to those with traditional tillage.

Benefits of increased cover crop diversity for predators and biological pest control depend on the landscape context

Lea Beaumelle et al.

Summary: Increasing plant diversity at the local scale can enhance the abundance of natural enemies and improve biological pest control services. Diverse cover crops mostly benefit natural enemies and biological pest control in simplified landscapes.
