- •
We found association between spider families and non-crop plant species in a chili pepper agroecosystem.
- •
Non-crop habitat increased spider abundance and altered guild composition.
- •
The spatial analyses showed that non-crop plant strips influence the aggregation tendencies of spiders.
- •
The intrinsic correlation between spider families and non-crop plants is promising for selecting non-crop plants.
- •
Non-crop plants enhance recruitment of spiders to improve biological control potential.
