Biological control is emerging as a sustainable alternative to chemical pesticides in agricultural ecosystems, with predatory insects playing a central role in suppressing pest populations. This ...

Entomopathogenic nematodes (EPNs) are specialised, soil-dwelling parasitic worms that have emerged as potent biological control agents in modern agriculture. Their life cycle relies on a symbiotic ...

Researchers have discovered that the circadian rhythms or biological "clocks" in some insects can make them far more susceptible to pesticides at some times of the day instead of others. Researchers ...

The integrity of many natural environments in the southeastern United States is being threatened by invasive plants. Biological control offers a selective method for the control of these weeds because ...

An international team of scientists, involving entomologists, conservation biologists, agro-ecologists and geographers, has just revealed how on-farm biological control can slow the pace of tropical ...

Researchers from INRA, CIRAD, CEA, the University of Montpellier, and Chicago and Vanderbilt Universities in the United States have developed an innovative method for analyzing the genome of the ...
