The International Biocontrol Manufacturers' Association (IBMA) is a worldwide association of the biocontrol industry, [1] with its head office in Brussels. [2] IBMA has over 220 member companies. The association sponsors the Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting held in Basel , Switzerland.
The UN's Food and Agriculture Organization defines IPM as "the careful consideration of all available pest control techniques and subsequent integration of appropriate measures that discourage the development of pest populations and keep pesticides and other interventions to levels that are economically justified and reduce or minimize risks to ...
Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests, whether pest animals such as insects and mites, weeds, or pathogens affecting animals or plants by using other organisms. [1] It relies on predation , parasitism , herbivory , or other natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an active human management role.
Beauveria brongniartii is an entomopathogenic ascomycete fungus prevalent in various ecosystems, including forest soils, alpine grasslands, and peat bogs. [2] Known for its effectiveness against coleopteran pests, particularly the European cockchafer (Melolontha melolontha) and forest cockchafer (M. hippocastani), B. brongniartii has been widely adopted in biological control strategies across ...
Biopesticides may include natural plant-derived products, which include alkaloids, terpenoids, phenolics and other secondary chemicals. Vegetable oils such as canola oil have pesticidal properties [14] [citation needed]. Products based on plant extracts such as garlic have now been registered in the EU and elsewhere [15] [citation needed].
