Response surface methodology reveals proportionality effects of plant species in conservation plantings on occurrence of generalist predatory arthropods.

Multivariate geometric designs for mixture experiments and response surface methodology (RSM) were tested as a means of optimizing plant mixtures to support generalist predatory arthropods. The mixture design included 14 treatment groups, each comprised of six planters and having a proportion of 0.0...
