Guidelines for biological control of some pest species

Options for biological control are growing
The researchers of NCERA-125 develop integrated pest management systems that conserve existing natural enemies or introduce populations of natural enemies if needed. The guidelines linked here offer recommendations for using biological control with specific pests. There are also suggestions for enhancing impacts, background information about the pest and beneficial species as well as sources for purchasing beneficials and learning more about the particular species.

Guidelines for biological control:

Parasites of greenbugs in wheat and grain sorghum

Purple loosestrife

Soft and armored scales in the woody landscape

Releasing Trichogramma wasps from commercial insectaries
