Agricultural insecticides are believed to play a role in global pollinator decline. In mass-flowering orchard crops, recommendations to reduce exposure of pollinators to insecticides include spraying at periods when bees aren't foraging, such as dusk and dawn and outside of crop flowering times. However, the presence of flowering weeds within orchards mean pollinators may still be found foraging throughout the growing season, increasing the likelihood that exposure will still occur. We hypothesized that removing these weeds within orchard groundcover may reduce pollinator foraging post-bloom and thus reduce exposure of this group to pesticides. We tested this hypothesis by using herbicide to remove flowering broadleaf weeds in the sod middles (‘groundcover’) between rows of a nectarine orchard in New Jersey, USA, and assessing the effect on pollinator visitation via three different methods.

管理果园地被植物以减少花后传粉者觅食

农业杀虫剂被认为在全球授粉媒介减少中发挥了作用。在大量开花的果园作物中，减少传粉媒介接触杀虫剂的建议包括在蜜蜂不觅食的时期喷洒，例如黄昏和黎明以及作物开花时间之外。然而，果园内开花杂草的存在意味着在整个生长季节仍可能发现传粉者觅食，这增加了仍然发生暴露的可能性。我们假设去除果园地被植物中的这些杂草可以减少花后授粉媒介的觅食，从而减少该群体接触杀虫剂的机会。我们通过使用除草剂去除美国新泽西州油桃园行之间的草皮中间（“地被植物”）中的开花阔叶杂草来测试这一假设，
