Dill, hoverflies and aphids

Basic demo

Week 1: cabbage, radish, pepper, lettuce and tomato go into the bed as seedlings. There is no dill in this bed.

Week 1 of 16

Basic demo: a simplified illustration of a published interaction between dill, hoverflies and aphids, not a forecast of your garden.

The relationships in this demo come from cited studies in AEDIN, the science behind AgInteract. The rates are designed defaults chosen for the demo, not measurements: aphids build up over about 10 days, dill draws hoverflies in when it is within 2 squares of the cabbage, and once settled in (after about 2 weeks) they cut aphid numbers by 60%.
