Soil ecotron
The ecotron consists of 60 cilinders with intact (non-disturbed) sand, peat or sea clay cores (20 each). For each soil treatment, ten of the cilinders are inoculated with soil from species-rich grassland with the same soil type. The other ten are inoculated with sterile soil from the same grassland. The cilinders are buried in an experimental garden.

Bacterial collection
NIOO has a collection of thousands of bacterial strains isolated from different (semi-)natural and agricultural environments. Most are bacteria isolated from soils, rhizosphere or plant parts, but aquatic strains are present as well.

Lectoraat Ecologisch Wijs: Insecten & Maatschappij
Eikenprocessierups, buxusmot en mug. Er zijn genoeg plagen die ons de kriebels kunnen bezorgen. Maar veel meer insectensoorten zijn juist onmisbaar en verdienen aandacht omdat het slecht met ze gaat. Die twee uitersten hebben meer met elkaar te maken dan je denkt, stelt Jetske de Boer. Sinds 2020 werkt zij als lector Insecten & Maatschappij bij Aeres Hogeschool Wageningen én het Nederlands Instituut voor Ecologie (NIOO-KNAW) aan praktische oplossingen.

Smart natural enemies for sustainable pest control
Parasitoids are key natural enemies that contribute to biological control of economically important pests in both agricultural and natural ecosystems. They are however not always efficient in finding the pest insect in the greenhouse because the (mass-)rearing conditions differ from the greenhouse environment in which they are released. This reduces parasitoid motivation and efficiency to search for herbivore insect pests.
