Flower biodiversity in agricultural systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
that wins space in the national and international market.
The introduction of flowers in urban agricultural systems is a
form of diversifying agroecosystems, with the aim of raising
the variety of species and yields. The wrong agricultural
managements, misapplication of pesticides and fertilizers as
well as monoculture have involved an important biodiversity
reduction in agroecosystems; however, this way has been
proved to protect crops from the attack of pests and diseases.
So far, studies referred to the relationships established between
crop diversity and pest occurrence have been mainly directed
towards edible, medicinal and aromatic species; nevertheless,
it is necessary to know the role that flowers play inside the
agroecosystem, so that they contribute to its ecological
balance and sustainability.
