| Urban sprawl and population growth lead to loss of contact with nature for urban residents; thus giving more importance to the remaining urban green spaces for the residents’ well-being. In this study, weassess the preferences and uses of urban and peri-urban green spaces by inhabitants of the city center andof the bordering areas of the pre-alpine city of Bellinzona in southern Switzerland. In a quantitative surveyin which a questionnaire was mailed to a selective quota of 1000 local households, we asked about generalperceptions of the quality of life; the general importance of the green on the surrounding mountain slopes; the frequency of urban and peri-urban green space visitation including the activities undertaken in them;and the motivations for... |

| Survival of pest in micro-plot trials (container studies) or field plot trials was monitored after exposure to commercially used EPN strains. Experimental plots were artificially infested with pest larvae that naturally burrowed into the soil for diapause. Either larval mortality or adult emergence, was assessed to estimate the control effect of the EPN treatment. Here we present preliminary results from three ongoing projects. |

| Semi-field and field experiments were carried out to evaluate the biological control potential of entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) against grubs in hazelnut, chestnut and cherry orchards. Mortality of hazelnut weevils in interred containers treated with 2.2x106 infective juveniles (IJ) m-2 of Heterorhabditis bacteriophora was 75.4%. H. indica caused 65.2% and S. feltiae 43.3% pest mortality, but numbers were not significantly different from the untreated control (33.4%). Mortality of the chestnut weevil was slightly increased in S. carpocapsae (2x106 IJ m-2) treated containers (44.6%) compared to untreated control containers (39.2%), but differences were either not significant. Soil applications against the European cherry fruit fly did not lead to any... |
