Biological control is often most efective when coupled with other pest control tactics in an integrated pest management (IPM) program. Biological control is a form of pest control that uses living organisms (parasitoids, predators, or herbivorous arthropods) to suppress a pest׳s density to lower levels. Pesticidesâincluding herbicides, insecticides, and fungicidesâhave contributed to substantial increases in crop yields over the past five decades. Natural enemies are living organisms that: Kill pests Decrease pest reproductive potential Compete with pest organisms for use of your plants. 0000006114 00000 n
