Californian crop pests, pesticide applications, and phylogenetic information of crops
December 17, 2020
Information on pesticide applications, crop pests, and phylogenetic affinities between Californian crops and regional native plants were compiled. Data was collected to inform models of pesticide applications and host use of pests among California's 93 major crops. Pesticide data was assembled from California Department of Pesticide Regulation records, pest information was assembled from the California Integrated Pest Management database, and phylogenetic affinities were based on a supertree of plants in the Jepson Manual assembled based on the Zanne et al 2014 mega-phylogeny of seed plants.

Phylogenetic escape from pests reduces pesticides on some crop plants
Pesticides are a ubiquitous component of conventional crop production but come with considerable economic and ecological costs. We tested the hypothesis that variation in pesticide use among crop species is a function of crop economics and the phylogenetic relationship of a crop to native plants because unrelated crops accrue fewer herbivores and pathogens. Comparative analyses of a dataset of 93
