e3“A. comariana densities in the 3 fields with sown buckwheat flower strips were 0.5, 4.0, and 8.3 larvae per m per row of strawberry respectively”
e6“Distance from floral strips had no significant effect on either A. comariana larval density or on the proportion of individuals parasitized by C. aretas”

Other claims from this paper (12)
- Intervention effect Buckwheat was superior to other floral diets for C. aretas, increasing its longevity 1.4 times compared with water.
- Intervention effect Buckwheat increased longevity of A. comariana.
- Intervention effect Longevity and survival of A. comariana did not differ significantly among buckwheat, borage and strawberry.
- Observation A. comariana larval densities in the three buckwheat-strip fields were 0.5, 4.0 and 8.3 larvae per m per row of strawberry.
- Observation Of collected A. comariana larvae, 1%, 39% and 65% were parasitized by C. aretas across the three fields.
- Association A. comariana density and the proportion of larvae parasitized by C. aretas were highly significantly correlated.
- Association Distance from buckwheat flower strips had no significant effect on the proportion of larvae parasitized by C. aretas.
- Association Total A. comariana mortality was highest near buckwheat flower strips.
- Intervention effect Buckwheat flower strips had no detectable effect on C. aretas parasitism.
- Mechanism The positive effect of buckwheat strips on A. comariana control is suggested to stem from unknown mortality factors.
- Observation Few other parasitoids emerged from collected A. comariana larvae.
- Observation No collected larvae were infected by entomopathogenic fungi.
