Pest management practices in peaches rely heavily on broad-spectrum insecticides that are harmful to beneficial insects which provide invaluable services such as biological pest control and pollination. Conservation biological control seeks to attract beneficial insect by providing natural habitat within or adjacent to agricultural fields to provide beneficial insect with resources and shelter so that they may colonize fields to attack pests. Here, we described the community of ground-dwelling arthropods in Southeastern peach orchards, their response to three forms of ground cover management, and we used PCR-assisted molecular gut content analysis to determine the predators of common peach pests. We found that ground covers that consisted of mowed or unmanaged grasses and weeds were best at sustaining a diverse community of arthropods. However, we also found that tiger beetles, which preferred bare soil, were the most effective predators of common pests. As only a part of the larger picture of peach arthropod communities, our results are inconclusive but suggest a tradeoff in which complex ground cover is more beneficial for arthropod conservation overall, while bare ground may be of more use for integrated pest management.
