Short summary
Natural enemies often originate from the (semi)natural habitats surrounding agricultural fields. In many cases, the biological control service is limited to the field borders, where the natural enemies can move easily from the surrounding habitats. This work uses movement rules and individual-based models to explore how the habitat quality of the field and its surroundings may be modified to help natural enemies move inside the field and therefore improve biological control.
