| dc.description.abstract | This IPM short explores how weed presence in and around desert vegetable fields influences insect pest dynamics and disrupts integrated pest management (IPM) strategies. Weeds can serve as hosts for insect pests, reservoirs for virus transmission, and physical barriers to effective insecticide application. While some weeds may support beneficial insects, the risks associated with pest and virus outbreaks generally outweigh these benefits. The publication emphasizes the importance of comprehensive weed control to support insecticide efficacy and reduce pest pressure in desert cropping systems. | en_US |
