Biological control in Bolivia.
, 2020 Abstract A number of introductions of parasitoids and predators were carried out in the 1950s for classical biological control of olive scale, woolly apple aphid, white peach scale, Mediterranean fruit fly and Anastrepha fruit fly, with control of cottony cushion scale by the coccinellid Rodolia being a particular success.

Endophytic Entomopathogenic Fungi: A Valuable Biological Control Tool against Plant Pests
Applied Sciences, 2020 Among the non-chemical insect control methods, biological control is one of the most effective human and environmentally friendly alternatives. One of the main biological control methods is the application of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF).

Next‐generation biological control: the need for integrating genetics and genomics
Biological Reviews of The Cambridge Philosophical Society, 2020 Biological control is widely successful at controlling pests, but effective biocontrol agents are now more difficult to import from countries of origin due to more restrictive international trade laws (the Nagoya Protocol). Coupled with increasing demand,

Biological control in Venezuela.
, 2020 Abstract Venezuela has a long history in application of pest biological control. The first attempts were recorded at the end of the 19th century with the use of Scelio famelicus for control of the migratory locust Schistocerca paranensis and continued in the middle of the 20th with the introduction of Rodolia cardinalis to control the citrus ...
