O conhecimento dos ecossistemas agrícolas é um factor primordial para a sua gestão e sustentabilidade e para a obtenção de produtos mais ecológicos. Nesse sentido, procedeu-se a um estudo da entomofauna presente em plantas herbáceas espontâneas, usualmente associadas a olivais alentejanos, no Sul de Portugal, para avaliar o contributo dessas espécies na manutenção de uma fauna auxiliar no Olival. Entre Junho e ...
