Biomass and Bioenergy, 1994
Abstract For the purposes of energy forests, we argue that biological pest control should be interpreted as any method of using natural organisms or their products for the regulation of herbivores, below the economic threshold. The organisms include the energy forest crop species and natural enemies of pest herbivores.

Biological Pest Control in Mexico
Annual Review of Entomology, 2013Mexico is a megadiverse country that forms part of the Mesoamerican biological corridor that connects North and South America. Mexico's biogeographical situation places it at risk from invasive exotic insect pests that enter from the United States, Central America, or the Caribbean.

Biological pest control in beetle agriculture
Trends in Microbiology, 2009Bark beetles are among the most destructive tree pests on the planet. Their symbiosis with fungi has consequently been studied extensively for more than a century. A recent study has identified actinomycete bacteria that are associated with the southern pine beetle and produce specific antibiotics against an antagonist of the beetles' mutualistic ...

Biological Pest Control Agents
Biological pest control is a sustainable and environmentally friendly method of controlling pest populations in agricultural ecosystems. This method involves the use of natural enemies of pests, such as predators, parasitoids, and pathogens, to reduce pest infestations effectively.V., Abhishek +3 more

Biological Control of Insect Pests
2013Natural enemies of insect pests play a key role in reducing the levels of pest populations below those causing economic injury. Both natural and applied biological control tactics can be important in successful management of pest populations. Biological control has the advantage of being self-perpetuating (once established), and it usually does not ...

Biological pest control by investing crops in pests
Population Ecology, 2012Abstract We propose a biological pest control system that invests part of a crop in feeding a pest in a cage. The fed pest maintains a predator that attacks the pest in the target area (i.e., the area for storing or growing crops). The fed pest cannot leave the cage nor the target pest cannot enter the cage. The predator, however, can

Biological Control of Tea Pests
2001Tea, Camellia sinensis (L.) O. Kuntze is an economically important crop cultivated for leaf covering an area of 42.2 million ha in India. Tea plantation as monoculture is a permanent ecosystem which provides habitat continuity for 1031 species of arthropods and 82 species of nematodes as reported from different parts of the world (Chen and Chen, 1989).

BIOLOGICAL CONTROL OF MAIZE PESTS
Maize is a staple food and third most preferred coarse grain after wheat, rice providing a substantial amount of energy and micronutrients for much of India's population. India ranks 7th in maize production among the maize-producing countries worldwide.Rani, Supriya, Thakur, Anand Kumar
