The state of commercial augmentative biological control: plenty of natural enemies, but a frustrating lack of uptake [PDF]
, 2011 Augmentative biological control concerns the periodical release of natural enemies. In com- mercial augmentative biological control, natural enemies are mass-reared in biofactories for release in large numbers to obtain an immediate control of pests. The
