Abstract
⺠Adjacent woody vegetation enhances conservation biological control. ⺠To provide useful guidelines, effective distances of adjacent vegetation need to be established. ⺠We tested abundance of natural enemies and impact on an economically important vineyard pest. ⺠Results indicate 50 m spacing increases abundance and predation/parasitism. ⺠These results provide guidelines for landscape changes to enhance pest control.
