Impact of a rye cover crop on diversity and abundance of below and above-ground arthropods in lettuce : a multitrophic approach
We're studying the impacts of a rye cover crop on soil microbiota and its repercussions on trophic interactions linking together springtail communities, the aphid Nasonovia ribisnigri and the aphid midge Aphidoletes aphidimyza in a lettuce (Lactuca sativa) growing on organic soils in southern Quebec system.
