auxilliares

French to English Science Agriculture
Hello

In:

Indicateur de l'état de l'écosystème : inventaire, comptage du nombre d'individu de l'espèce la plus représentée (ravageurs, arbres, ***auxiliaires***,…)

or

Travail du sol : grandes étapes, à quel moment, difficultés, innovations, ravageurs, ***auxiliaires*** ?


what are "auxilliares" please?

i have this word elsewhere like in "Produits ajoutés (solvant, auxiliaires…)" (translated as "additives")

and

Autres auxiliaires de fabrication utilisés (translated as "production aids")

but in the first two segments above, I'm stumped

Thanks

@ all i've just half found the answer;

It's "auxiliaires des cultures"

Les auxiliaires sont des ennemis naturels des ravageurs des cultures. Ce sont des prédateurs, des parasites, ou encore des agents de certaines maladies qui détruisent les nuisibles.

So I just have to find the English for this now

@ Kartik Hello

In the first sentence where I'm stuck, they are talking about species.
I just can't see how this can be "rodents, trees, auxiliary products"

But you are probably right in the second sentence. It would work there

auxiliaries

I think the exact translation works here as in "auxiliary products".
