WHAT DOES BIOCONTROL MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Biological pest control

Biological control is a bioeffector-method of controlling pests using other living organisms. It relies on predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an active human management role. It can be an important component of integrated pest management programs. There are three basic types of biological pest control strategies: importation, augmentation and conservation. Natural enemies of insect pests, also known as biological control agents, include predators, parasitoids, and pathogens. Biological control agents of plant diseases are most often referred to as antagonists. Biological control agents of weeds include seed predators, herbivores and plant pathogens.
