Biological Controls
Biological controls refer to the use of living organisms, such as predators, parasites, and pathogens, to manage and regulate populations of pests and invasive species in agriculture, forestry, and natural ecosystems. These natural enemies help to control pest populations without the use of synthetic chemicals, promoting a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly approach to pest management. Biological controls can be introduced intentionally or occur naturally, playing a crucial role in maintaining the balance of ecosystems and reducing the need for chemical interventions.
