Biological Pest Control in Mexico [PDF]
Annual Review of Entomology, 2013 Mexico 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.

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 and Integrated Pest Control in Greenhouses
Annual Review of Entomology, 1988The total world area covered by greenhouses is very small (approximately 150,000 ha; Table 1), yet developments in biological pest control in this cropping system have been significant and are of particular interest for several reasons. Few specialists in biological control anticipated that it would be possible to employ natural enemies in greenhouses ...

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 ...

The economic impacts of ecosystem disruptions: Costs from substituting biological pest control
ScienceBiodiversity loss is accelerating, yet we know little about how these ecosystem disruptions affect human well-being. Ecologists have documented both the importance of bats as natural predators of insects as well as their population declines after the ...

Biological Control of Marine Pests
Ecology, 1996Biological control, as used in terrestrial systems, may hold promise for use against exotic marine species. We first review some marine pests, displaying their diversity, the damage they cause, and possible controls. We then contrast approaches for marine and terrestrial pest control, providing guidelines for adapting terrestrial controls to the marine

Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.)-based intercropping systems for biological pest control.
Pest Management Science, 2016Wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) is one of the most cultivated crops in temperate climates. As its pests are mainly controlled with insecticides that are harmful to the environment and human health, alternative practices such as intercropping have been ...

Biological pest control by investing crops in pests
Population Ecology, 2012AbstractWe 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 freely attack both

Environmental Entomology
The diet of adult parasitoid wasps is vital for their survival and reproduction. However, the availability of food resources, such as plant nectar, can vary widely in cropping systems, potentially affecting parasitoid fitness and thereby biological ...

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).
