What is biological control?
Biological control is the use of living organisms and substances derived from nature to manage pests and diseases, improve crop protection management and support plants throughout their life cycle. This means introducing the likes of bio fungicides, bio insecticides, bio seed treatments, beneficial nematodes, and agricultural pheromones as part of an integrated pest management program to create natural partnerships which keep harmful pests and diseases from destroying crops.
Those have several advantages when used on their own or alongside conventional crop protection methods:
- Due to their positive environmental profile biologicals are safe for users and consumers and there are no residues left after their use.
- After 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 and with less or non-effect towards other beneficial insects.
- Biologicals are an alternative tool for resistance management.
- By utilizing effective natural partnerships, biological controls can enhance the own plant health and help to keep the right balance of the local biodiversity.
