CONT

À l'opposé, l'étalement des dates de semis d'une culture pérenne peut assurer une hétérogénéité qui limitera le développement dans l'espace d'un déprédateur inféodé à un stade phénologique précis de la plante hôte. Des études en ce sens sont entreprises pour évaluer l'impact économique de cette technique en sylviculture.
