Organizmy pożyteczne w strategiach biologicznego zwalczania – grzyby owadobójcze

Studia Ecologiae et Bioethicae, 2010
Fungal entomopathogens are widespread in nature and contribute to the natural regulation of insects. They can be exploited for pest management as biological control agents of pests in attempts to improve the sustainability of crop protection.

Organic farming at local and landscape scales fosters biological pest control in vineyards.

Ecological Applications, 2018
While organic farming practices, which are often promoted as models of ecological intensification, generally enhance biodiversity, their effects on the delivery of ecosystem services, such as biological pest control, are still unknown.

Chimera and cluster collective states in a dispersal ecological network under state-dependent feedback control and complex habitat structure

Journal of Biological Dynamics, 2021
Pest control based on an economic threshold (ET) can effectively prevent excessive pest control measures such as pesticide abuse and overharvesting. The instinctive dispersal of pest populations in biological network patches for better survival poses ...

Biological control of the chestnut gall wasp with \emph{T. sinensis}: a mathematical model

, 2015
The Asian chestnut gall wasp \emph{Dryocosmus kuriphilus}, native of China, has become a pest when it appeared in Japan, Korea, and the United States. In Europe it was first found in Italy, in 2002.

Are avian predators effective biological control agents for rodent pest management in agricultural systems? [PDF]

, 2016
Worldwide rodent pests are of significant economic and health importance. Controlling rodent pests will, therefore, not only benefit food security but also human and animal health.

Potential of Cover Crops to Control Arthropod Pests in Organic Viticulture

Bulletin of University of Agricultural Sciences and Veterinary Medicine Cluj-Napoca: Horticulture, 2022
Plant diversity has the potential to conserve beneficials and thereby naturally controlling arthropod pests. Beneficials’ activity can be increased by pollen-rich plant species.

Field Margin Vegetation in Tropical African Bean Systems Harbours Diverse Natural Enemies for Biological Pest Control in Adjacent Crops

Sustainability, 2019
Non-crop vegetation around farmland can be valuable habitats for enhancing ecosystem services but little is known of the importance of field margins in supporting natural enemies of insect pests in tropical agriculture.

Active Adaptive Management in Insect Pest and Weed Control: Intervention with a Plan for Learning [PDF]

, 2002
A major problem in insect pest and weed management is uncertainty. Managers are faced with three main types of uncertainty: uncertainty about biological and environmental processes, and observational uncertainty.

Insights from Population Genomics to Enhance and Sustain Biological Control of Insect Pests

Insects, 2020
Biological control—the use of organisms (e.g., nematodes, arthropods, bacteria, fungi, viruses) for the suppression of insect pest species—is a well-established, ecologically sound and economically profitable tactic for crop protection. This approach has
