Hello @eunoia10, thanks for your valuable comment, I am from Venezuela is a pleasure to meet another user who likes agriculture.

To get into the subject, in my country we also know integrated pest management, which consists of applying all the control methods necessary to keep an insect and/or other organic species out, For this to be effective of course it is important to know the life cycle of the insect.

We have not worked with the wasp peat you mentioned, but it sounds very interesting what you mention, as far as the diversification of crops can be said, that maintains the balance of ecosystems since, Diversity attracts different beneficial insects and not so many others, but they play an important role for agro-ecosystems.

So long, have a great week.
