Biological Control
Biological control is the use of living organisms to control pests and disease-causing pathogens. It is a natural and sustainable way to control pests, helping to reduce the dependence on chemical control. Biological control involves releasing beneficial insects or other organisms that feed on pests, or releasing beneficial bacteria or fungi that attack the pests. This is a more targeted approach than chemical control, as it only affects the pest species and not the entire ecosystem. It also helps reduce the risk of chemical residues entering the environment. Biological control is an effective and environmentally friendly way to manage pests and decrease their impact on agricultural yields and ecosystems.
