Practicing Biocontrol in Arboriculture
From Triple Performance
Biocontrol is a solution that can be used in the context of protecting crops and plants. The principle of biocontrol is based on the management of the balance of populations of pests rather than their eradication. Biocontrol products prioritize the use of natural mechanisms and interactions, which regulate relationships between species in the natural environment.
This article aims to present a non-exhaustive list [1] of biocontrol products applicable in arboriculture[2][3].
