MSU AgBioResearch scientists Rufus Isaacs and Doug Landis have identified a number of native plants that attract beneficial insects to landscapes.
Isaacs, professor in Entomology, is especially interested in plants that c an attract native bees to blueberry fields to help farmers pollinate their crops.
Landis, professor in Entomology, is starting field trials to see if fields bordered by native plants have fewer pest insects as well as higher yields.
