Altering crop management practices to promote pollinators

Agricultural intensification, or the increase in crop production per unit of input land area to meet needs a growing population, has resulted landscape dominated by large scale monoculture cropping. Pollinators, specifically, are impacted lack diverse floral and habitat resources associated with this type farming. Agriculture must develop practices that diversify availability flowering support these populations. In chapter, we summarize available literature on how space, i.e., within field, orchard, pasture, can be more effectively managed sustain pollinator We report various spatial temporal approaches context cropping systems (row crops, specialty perennial orchards, forage pasture systems). Collectively, represent opportunities re-introduce diversity into agricultural benefit pollinators.
