Biological control
* Some biological controls prey on only one or a few related species.
* affects a whole cycle of life over time.
* are also commercially available for a number of greenhouse pests
  - invasions
* can be an effective, environmentally sound method of managing pests
  - another important way to manage soil-inhabiting insect pests
  - effective against whiteflies, especially in a greenhouse environment
  - part of a system
  - reduce the use of pesticides
* form of manipulating nature to achieve a desired effect.
* help reduce the amount of chemical pesticides released in the environment.
* includes the introduction of herbivore fish, insects or pathogens into the water.
* is an alternative to using chemical herbicides
  - approach to reducing populations of harmful organisms with natural enemies
* is an important area of research into weed control
  - component of integrated pest management of stored grain
  - strategy for the management of mite pests
  - indispensable component of an integrated pest management strategy
  - developed and enhanced through the use of plant feeding insects and pathogens
  - the control of weeds with plant pathogens or insects
* is the intentional manipulation of natural enemies to limit pest populations
  - use of natural enemies by humans to control pest populations
  - practical use of natural enemies to manage pests
* is the use of a specially chosen living organism to control a specific pest
  - an organism to disrupt weed growth
  - another living organism to eat, kill, or otherwise harm a pest
* is the use of natural enemies of an organism to control that organism
  - to control pests
  - one organism to suppress another
  - other insects or pathogens to control economic pests

  - usually specific to a particular pest organism
* logical and important tool to the agricultural industry.
* means regulating pests via their natural enemies.
* means using natural enemies of the pest, like lady bugs to control aphids
  - to pests
  - methods to get rid of pests , instead of using poisons
* method being used in many artificial ponds to control aquatic plant growth.
* relies on populations of the weed and the agent to maintain the system.
* rely on predators and parasites to keep organisms under control.
* seem to combine the best of both organic methods and chemical pesticides.
* seems possible in very controlled environments.
* solution that is often offered by consultants to the Namibian government.
* targets specific pests with just as specific controls.
* use natural enemies to a pest, for example, mites that feed on mite pests
  - other organisms to eliminate problem pests
* uses birds, insects, viruses, bacteria, fungi, etc
  - fish and other predators to eat the larvae
  - naturally occurring diseases, parasites and predators to control pests
  - pathogens, predators, or parasitoids
* using natural predators more effective, long-term solution to pest control
  - parasites is generally pest-specific
* utilizes living organisms to reduce pest populations.
+ Organic farms: Agriculture
  * Flower growers and ordinary home gardens can use organic methods too. A example of organic farming which is often used in the garden is biological control. Biological control means using natural methods to get rid of pests, instead of using poisons.
