Dataset Tomato

Description

These data were collected in southern Benin (West Africa) to demonstrate how crop diversity within an agricultural landscape and the use of biopesticides might influence arthropod food webs and the natural control of tomato pests. These findings highlight that conserving plant biodiversity alongside integrating agroecological pest management practices and botanical extract application, foster the stability and sustainability of tomato-based cropping systems. By leveraging on the differential efficacy of aqueous and oil-based formulation, we propose a phased application strategy as a promising framework for adaptable, effective, and sustainable botanical pest management across diverse pressure scenarios.
