Contenido:

Insect pests can strongly influence the economic outcome of short rotation coppices. Chemical control is often complicated due to the
height of the trees and the prohibition of aerial spraying of pesticides by the German legal framework. Therefore, non-chemical measures to reduce the populations of pest insects are in focus of current research. Habitat manipulation is one key element to enhance biological control with the aim to supress the damage through pest species below the economic injury level. As an example, the influence of the presence of different food sources on longevity and fertility on the pupal parasitoid Schizonotus sieboldi (Pteromalidae), an important antagonist of the leaf beetle Chrysomela populi, will be presented. We found that the longevity of female S. sieboldi individuals can be prolonged from 4 ± 1 days without food to 31 ± 12 days with Galium album, which was proved to be the best out of seven food sources. Furthermore, an overview of additional possible measures to enhance biological control is given and known problems and limitations will be discussed. We conclude that it is possible to promote natural enemies in short rotation coppices through habitat manipulation. However, pest management becomes more and more complicated and requires high level of expertise of the land managers.
