Biocontrol is a method of controlling pests, diseases, and other harmful organisms in agriculture and ecosystems using natural enemies or antagonists. This can involve the release of beneficial organisms, such as predatory insects or parasitic wasps, to reduce the population of harmful organisms. Biocontrol aims to minimize the use of chemical pesticides and promote sustainable and environmentally-friendly methods of pest control. Research in biocontrol focuses on identifying effective natural enemies, understanding their interactions with target organisms, and developing strategies for their successful deployment in agricultural and natural settings.
