Carabids, which are frequently distributed in agricultural landscapes, are natural enemies of different pests including slugs. Semi-natural habitats are known to affect carabids and thus, their potential to support natural pest control.
The impact of semi-natural habitats was investigated on carabids and slugs within different non-crop habitats (chapter 2). Most carabids and Deroceras reticulatum showed preferences for herbaceous semi-natural habitats, while Arion spp. occured mainly in woody habitats. An increase of predatory carabid abundance, which was linked to an inclining amount of semi-natural habitats in the landscape, and a decrease of Arion spp. densities, indicated a high potential for slug control in structural rich landscapes.
Effects of semi-natural habitats were investigated on predatory carabids and slugs in 18 wheat fields (chapter 3). Predatory carabid species richness was positively affected by the increasing amount of semi-natural habitats in the landscape, whereas predatory carabid abundance was neither influenced by adjacent habitat type nor by the proportion of semi-natural habitats in the landscape. The target pest species showed divergent patterns, whereas Arion spp. densities were highest in structural poor landscapes near woody margins. D. reticulatum was not affected by habitat type or landscape, reflecting its adaptation to agriculture. Results indicate an increased control of Arion spp. by carabids in landscapes with a high amount of semi-natural habitats.
Effects of semi-natural habitats and the influence of farming system was tested on carabid distribution within 18 pumpkin fields (chapter 4). Carabid species richness generally increased with decreasing distance to the field margins, whereas carabid abundance responded differently according to the adjacent habitat type. Farming system had no effect on carabids and landscape heterogeneity only affected carabids in organic pumpkin fields.
Slug and slug egg predation of three common carabid species was tested in single and double species treatments in the laboratory (chapter 5). Results show additive and synergistic effects depending on the carabid species. In general, semi-natural habitats can enhance the potential of slug control by carabids. This counts especially for Arionid slugs. Semi-natural habitats can support carabid communities by providing shelter, oviposition and overwintering sites as wells as complementary food sources. Therefore, it is important to provide a certain amount of non-crop habitats in agricultural landscapes.
