What is biological control in agriculture?

Biological controls in agriculture are generally defined as crop protection and seed treatment products that are derived from living organisms. Examples include bacteria that protect against plant pathogens or beneficial nematodes that protect plants against insect pests.

Benefits of biological control

Due to their positive environmental profile, biologicals are safe for users and consumers, typically leaving little to no residues after use.
By introducing natural predators as a form of bio insecticide, they will continue to flourish, keeping pest numbers at a manageable level.
Biological controls are more target-specific, having less or no effect on other beneficial insects.
Biologicals serve an alternative tool for resistance management.
By utilizing effective natural partnerships, biological solutions can enhance plant health and help maintain the right balance of local biodiversity.
