Farmscaping for Biological Control

The National Sustainable Agriculture Information Service has a guide about Farmscaping for Biological Control.  The report highlights the services provided by natural insect predators (beneficials) and how to design farm landscapes that maximize these services.  The report describes Farm Bill programs that can be used to install conservation practices, lists species of plants that support specific groups of beneficial insects, and has detailed budget estimates for various management practices.
