Biological control agent refers to the use of natural or modified organisms, gene products, to reduce the effects of undesirable organisms and to favor desirable organisms such as crops, beneficial insects, and microorganisms.
It is usually highly specific to a particular pest.
Although expensive to introduce (mainly due to research costs), it can be very cheap in the long term.
It can provide a long-term solution to a pest problem
There is no environmental contamination.
Pests do not become resistant.
PURPOSE OF USING BIO CONTROL AGENT
A biological control agent is an organism, such as an insect or plant disease, that is used to control a pest species.
Often the goal of those who use bio control agents on rangelands is to suppress the alien weeds and at least partially restore the native plant community.
Therefore, Biological control involves using living organisms similarly, insects, pathogens, or grazing animals, to suppress a weed infestation.
Bio control agents are three types of entities involved in biological control these are
Avirulent agent or hypo virulent individuals within the pathogenic species itself after that cause the reduction of virulent strain of the pathogen by cross-production mechanism.
Genetically modified host plant that may be manipulate either by cultural pratices or with microorganisms after that provide resistance against pathogens.
Antagonists these include all classes and groups of organisms existing in an ecosystem and interfere with the disease producing activities of the pathogens.
Above all, The important genera of fungi studied as biocontrol agents are Trichoderma, Gilocladium, aspergillius, Chaetomium, pencillium etc. Many bacterial strains studies for their plant growth promoting activity for instance, biocontrol potential, these include agrobacterium, bacillius, Enterobacter, erwina, pseudomonas, and steptomyces etc.
