We suggest that several factors are responsible for this pattern.Additionally, the literature shows that twice the number of herbivorous insect species are associated with these plants. This relationship was also seen in a meta-analysis of literature data, which indicates that fourfold more flower-visitor species and fivefold more conservation-listed species are associated with the weeds. In our field study, the abundance and diversity of pollinators visiting the weed species averaged twice that of the recommended plants and included the main insect orders (Coleoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and Lepidoptera).obtusifolius), with plant species recommended for pollinator-targeted agri-environmental options. vulgare, curled dock Rumex crispus and broadleaved dock R. Here, we compare the biodiversity associated with the species which are considered harmful to agricultural production and legally deemed as ‘injurious’ by the United Kingdom 1959 Weeds Act (common ragwort Jacobaea vulgaris, creeping thistle Cirsium arvense, spear thistle C.However, previous research indicates that a suite of agricultural weeds are also of great importance to pollinators.
For pollinating insects, funding has been provided to sow wildflower mixes. In the European Union, agri-environmental schemes are designed to address this.
