Detailed explanation-1: -Biological control is the use of living organisms to suppress pest populations, making them less damaging than they would otherwise be. Natural enemies of insects play an important role in limiting the densities of potential pests. These natural enemies include predators, parasitoids, and pathogens.
Detailed explanation-2: -The braconid wasps can attack caterpillars and a wide range of other insects that include aphids. The chalcid wasps can parasitize eggs and larvae of many of the insect species. Parasitoids are most effective at reducing pest populations while their host organisms have limited refuges to hide from them.
Detailed explanation-3: -Biological control is a process where organisms that are natural predators are used to control the pathogenic population and the pests present in the environment. Integrated pest management: Integrated pest management (IPM) is a collection of techniques utilised to manage pests in our environment.
