DENDROLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Natural enemies are organisms that kill, decrease the reproductive potential of, or otherwise reduce the numbers of another organism. Natural enemies that limit pests are key components of integrated pest management programs.

Detailed explanation-2: -Ants, certain true bugs and beetles, and spiders are the main groups of predators. Larger animals, mice, skunks, armadillos, and birds are also common predators in urban landscapes. An adult parasitoid would attack a pest, but the pest is later killed by the larval stage.

Detailed explanation-3: -Provide food, water and shelter Providing food, water, and shelter for natural enemies will encourage them to stay in the crop area to feed and reproduce. Beneficial insects often need an alternate food supply in addition to the pest prey.
