Biological Control Research
Biological Control Research focuses on using natural organisms to manage pests and diseases in agriculture and ecosystems. This approach aims to reduce reliance on chemical pesticides by harnessing the power of predators, parasites, or pathogens that can naturally regulate pest populations.
Researchers study various beneficial insects, microorganisms, and plants to identify effective biological agents. By understanding their interactions within ecosystems, scientists can develop sustainable pest management strategies that promote environmental health and biodiversity while ensuring crop productivity.
