1. bees
Bees are one of the most important beneficial insects in farmland. They mainly help plants to reproduce by collecting nectar and spreading pollen. In the process of collecting nectar, bees will stick pollen to their bodies, and when they fly to the next flower, the pollen will fall off their bodies, thus realizing the spread of pollen. This is very important for the pollination process of crops and can increase the yield of crops.
Farmers can put bee boxes around farmland to attract bees to live. At the same time, farmers can also plant some flowers that bees like, such as lavender and cloves, to attract more bees.
2. ants
Ants are also one of the beneficial insects in farmland. They are very social and can form a huge ant colony. The main function of ants is to eliminate pests in farmland, such as aphids and ant aphids. They will control the number of pests by attacking their larvae and eggs.
Farmers can use the characteristics of ants to plant some plants that ants like, such as ant grass and thyme, to attract ants. In addition, farmers can also set up some ant nests around farmland to provide a habitat for ants.
3. Dragonflies
Dragonflies are common insects in farmland. They feed on other insects, including some pests. Dragonflies have strong predation ability and can effectively control the number of pests. In addition, dragonflies can also help spread pollen and promote the reproduction of crops.
Farmers can attract dragonflies by providing water and habitat. Set pools or streams around farmland for dragonflies to drink. At the same time, farmers can also plant some flowers that dragonflies like, such as bellflower and lilac.
4. ladybugs
Ladybug is one of the most common beneficial insects in farmland. They feed on aphids, aphids and ants, which can effectively control the number of pests. Ladybug larvae are more predatory, and a ladybug larva can eat dozens of pests a day.
Farmers can plant some plants that ladybugs like around farmland, such as chrysanthemums and dandelions, to attract ladybugs. In addition, farmers can also set up some ladybug habitats, such as ladybug houses, to provide an environment for ladybug habitats.
final result
Beneficial insects play an important role in farmland. They can help farmers control the number of pests and protect the healthy growth of crops. Bees, ants, dragonflies and ladybugs are common beneficial insects in farmland. They play a role in killing pests and preying on pests by collecting nectar and spreading pollen respectively. Farmers can attract beneficial insects by planting some plants that beneficial insects like and providing water and habitat. Through rational utilization of beneficial insects, farmers can reduce the use of chemical pesticides and protect the ecological environment of farmland.
