Abstract
⺠The effect of field margin plant composition on fungal transmission was assessed. ⺠Transmission of the fungus Pandora neoaphidis was greatest on a mixed field margin. ⺠Oviposition by the parasitoid Aphidius ervi was greatest on a simple field margin. ⺠Both species moved bi-directionally over the crop-margin interface. ⺠Field margins could be sources and sinks of both aphid natural enemies.
