摘要：

A conventionally managed orchard was compared with an orchard with a ground cover of clover and rye and managed to conserve biological control organisms. In the first three yeats after planting the orchard with diverse ground covers had a more diverse biological control community than the conventional orchard-even though the trees were less vigorous and had fewer aphids. Use of ground cover plants can enhance biological control in apple orchards but care must be taken not to reduce tree vigor.
