Abstract

Habitat manipulation aims to conserve insect population on agricultural landscapes by augmenting and conserving the population of natural enemies of pests or biological control agents. The study aimed to evaluate the effect of habitat manipulation on the yield of soybean by assessing the population of insects and other associated arthropods. Companion planting of Tagetes with soybean using inter-row and border row planting designs was followed. A total of 4, 388 individuals representing 11 insect Orders, and 128 species were collected through net sweeping and yellow sticky board traps. These two methods of insect collection were further compared using the two-planting designs. Border row planting design revealed a low population of insect pests, and thus better than the inter-row design. Also, higher number of biological control agents such as coccinellids was found in these plots than in soybean inter-row with Tagetes erecta, and soybean alone.
