What is biological control?
Biological control is a method of restricting effects of harmful animals, pathogens and plants using other useful organisms, e.g. microorganisms, insects and plants.
When is it biological control?
SLU researchers present an updated terminology and conceptual platform for biological control. This is needed to understand, optimize and legislate biological control methods.
