However, commercial pollination confronts honey bees with pests and pathogens, pesticides, and low-quality food, which in many cases do not fulfill the minimal nutritional requirements of honey bees. In this work, we evaluated honey bee nutrition in avocado and blueberry plantations under organic and conventional management, by assessing the nutritional quality of pollen and bee bread based on their protein, fatty acid, and microbial content, and by analyzing honey bee health through the examination of abdominal fatty acid profiles and head protein content. Low protein content in honey bee hemolymph was evident under conventional management. Regardless of management, avocado pollen showed higher protein levels, which were translated into higher honey bee head protein levels being 60% higher in avocado under conventional management when compared to blueberry under the same management. However, higher protein levels in avocado pollen were also translated into lower amounts of fatty acids in bee bread and in honey bee fat. In particular, the total amount of fatty acids in bee bread from conventional management was 50% lower than that from organic management. Additionally, the saturated fatty acids in conventional blueberries were lower compared to that of organic blueberries. Crop system and bee bread microbial composition altered the plant-honey bee nutrition cascades transforming pollen to bee bread with increased amount of saturated, unsaturated, and total fatty acids. In conclusion, both crop species and crop systems determine honey bee nutrition through alterations in the pollen transformation, affecting protein and fatty acid assimilation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8409,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod-Plant Interactions","volume":"18 5","pages":"999 - 1011"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-06-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s11829-024-10078-1.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142451118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The introduction of secondary plants may enhance syrphid activity and contribute to the suppression of onion thrips population in onion–barley intercropped fields. Therefore, two experiments were conducted to evaluate the effect of introducing secondary plants on the population of onion thrips and the occurrence of syrphids in onion–barley intercropped fields. In the first 2-year experiment, buckwheat, lacy phacelia, and coriander planted around barley-intercropped onion fields did not result in a significant reduction in the number of onion thrips. However, in the second experiment, which employed mixed intercropping of barley and buckwheat, significantly greater suppression of onion thrips population was observed in the mixed intercropping plots than in plots containing only barley intercropping. In addition, the number of syrphid eggs on intercropped barley was significantly higher in the mixed intercropping plots than in plots containing barley alone, demonstrating that planting flowering plants near barley can attract hoverflies and increase oviposition on barley. Furthermore, three-year experiments revealed more syrphid larvae on onion plants than on barley, with eggs found only on barley. These findings indicate that hoverflies oviposit on intercropped barley; then, the hatched larvae move to onion plants to prey on onion thrips. Overall, this study offers great insights into the potential use of intercropping with flowering plants to boost natural biological control of onion thrips, providing implications for sustainable pest management in onion production.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":8409,"journal":{"name":"Arthropod-Plant Interactions","volume":"18 5","pages":"967 - 977"},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2024-05-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142451046","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"农林科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
