The removal of some highly effective broad-spectrum chemicals, caused by concerns over environmental health and public safety, has resulted in the development of alternative, reduced risk crop protection products. These products, less toxic to the environment and easily integrated into biological control systems, target specific life stages or pest species. Predation recognized as a suitable, long-term strategy effectively suppresses pests in biotechnological control systems.\n\nIntegrated Pest Management covers these topics and m.
