Success in classical biological control
Critical Reviews in Plant Sciences, 1985Classical biological control in the past has been characterized by numerous unsuccessful attempts and by relatively few outstanding successes. An analysis of the recent developments in the theoretical and applied aspects of classical biological control reveals, however, that introducing parasites (predators, pathogens, herbivores) against pest ...

"Strains" and the classical biological control of insect pests
Canadian Journal of Zoology, 1995The classical biological control technique of introducing two or more populations of the same species of beneficial agent to increase the genetic diversity of that species (and so increase the chances of achieving a successful project) is reviewed. From standard literature sources, all cases of multiple introductions of conspecific populations against

This strategy provided the first means developed on a large scale for using natural enemies for pest control, hence the name “classical” biological control. The term “introduction of new natural enemies” has also been used to refer to this same strategy, described below. The intentional introduction of an exotic biological control agent for permanent

Classical biological control of weeds with Curculionidae.
CABI Reviews, 2011Abstract The intentional use of insects to control weeds has been in practice for more than 150 years. Historically, species from the orders Lepidoptera and Coleoptera have shown the greatest success. Among the Coleoptera, the weevils (family Curculionidae) have played an integral role in the suppression of more ...

Landmark Examples in Classical Biological Control
Annual Review of Entomology, 1981Classical biological control, as it is commonly understood, is the regulation of a pest population (insect, mite, mammal, weed, pathogen) by exotic natural enemies (parasites, predators, pathogens) that are imported for this purpose. Usually, the target species (pest) is an exotic that has reached higher population density in the new environment ...

Analysis of Classical Biological Control Programs
1982As noted in Chapter 8, p. 128 or more pest insects and weeds have been completely or substantially controlled by imported natural enemies (Table 9.1). Some of these have been of minor or localized status, while others have been species of continental distribution and great economic importance.

Documentation of classical biological control introductions
Crop Protection, 1992Abstract In view of increasing world attention to biodiversity and faunal surveys, improved documentation of the movement of biological control agents from one part of the world to another is needed. More detailed record-keeping and retention of voucher specimens can also help improve the success rate and provide useful feedback for classical ...

The impacts of some classical biological control successes.
CABI Reviews, 2016Abstract We differentiate between the success of a classical biological control programme and its impact; the former addressing the completed implementation of the steps of a biological control programme, and the anticipated reduction of the target pest, and the latter addressing the societal and environmental ...

Classical Biological Control and Social Equity
Bulletin of Entomological Research, 1991For over a century, scientists from industrialized countries as well as from developing countries have appropriated natural enemies from different regions of the world. These actions have been conducted thus far without compensation to the donor countries for such ‘biological services’.
