Abstrakt: Climate is the main factor in determining the yield of agricultural crops, and in the last decade research on climate change has intensified. The specialists in the field of agricultural research but also among farmers have see a solution in agroforestry or protective agroforestry belts, which improve microclimatic conditions, the soil is protected from drying and erosion, carbon is sequestered, and biodiversity is created. Besides the many advantages they have, agroforestry shelterbelts have another important role, by providing a suitable habitat for the increase and protection of useful insects. Useful arthropods have an impressive role in biodiversity conservation, due to their ecology and beneficial effect in agriculture, being a good strategy for biological control. The objective of this research is to present the entomophagous species present in wheat culture in an agroecosystem with protective agroforestry shelterbelts fromTransylvania Plain, in the context of climate changes in recent years. The most important species of entomophaous present in wheat culture in the three experimental years belong to the orders Araneae, Coleoptera, Hemiptera, Neuroptera, Diptera, and the most abundant order is that of spiders with a maximum number of 698 captured insects, in 2022.
