Insects play a crucial role in improving the health of agriculture by bolstering ecosystem resilience and equilibrium.
1. Pollination: Bees, butterflies, and certain insects are essential for certain crops as they support fruit and seed production, boosting productivity and biodiversity.
2. Pest Control: Ladybugs, lacewings, and predatory beetles naturally manage pests such as aphids, reducing the need for chemical use and increasing yields.
4. Parasitism: Wasps and flies lay their eggs on or within pest insects, and the hatching larvae feed on their host, effectively controlling pest populations without impacting beneficial insects.
5. Decomposers: Earthworms and certain beetles break down organic matter, improving soil health, which benefits plant growth and reduces erosion.
6. Soil Aeration: Earthworms and burrowing insects enhance soil structure, promoting water infiltration and root development by creating tunnels in the soil.
Maintaining and promoting practices that are friendly to insects is essential for achieving sustainable farming and a more vibrant planet.
