Biological control
A. Biological control is a type of pest control which involves the action of natural
enemies or beneficial organisms.
B. It can be natural biological control, where man does not actively manipulate
natural enemies or applied biological control which involves the use and
manangement of natural enemies by man.
II.
B. Disadvantage
Length of time required if applied biological control is to be implemented
because of the research and other initial effort involved in setting up.
III.
A. Density dependent their effects increase with increasing host density and
decrease with decreasing host population. An ideal natural enemy is one that
does not permit the host or prey to increase to any degree after it has been
reduced to a low level.
B. Exceptional searcher and has a high reproductive capacity able to find the
host at very low densities and keep it there. Since very few natural enemies of
this nature are known, there is a need to rely on the integration of two or more
manangement techniques to keep the pest at non-economic levels.
