About this document

History and Scope of Biological Control by Muhammad Mehran is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Biological control has been used throughout the world for centuries to manage pests in agriculture, forestry, and horticulture. The history of biological control can be divided into 3 periods - an early preliminary period using agents haphazardly, an intermediate period of more targeted use beginning in 1888, and a modern period since 1956 characterized by careful planning and evaluation. Biological control continues to be an important component of integrated pest management programs globally.
