Overview

Survey shows increased spider diversity in rice ecosystems through azolla and intercropping, suggesting enhanced pest control.

Key Points

  • Higher spider diversity was observed in rice ecosystems with intercropping and azolla, boosting pest control.
  • During the seasons, spider species counted were 11, 17, and 18, highlighting variations in diversity across growth stages.
  • Application of azolla and intercropping led to spider populations of 4.90 and 4.59 per hill, respectively.
  • In contrast, calendar-based insecticide spraying resulted in the significantly lowest spider numbers, at 3.34 per hill.
