Prospects for biological control of stored-product pests
Natural enemies are applied commercially against stored-product pests in Central Europe. In this contribution, an overview about the fields for application of the beneficial insects are given. The mode of action of beneficials is compared with the application of chemical pesticides. Examples for successful biological control include the retail trade, the food processing industry, storage on farms, bakeries and mills. Both conventional and organic producers apply beneficials. The main target pests are moths and beetles. Pest control companies gain in importance as operators of biological control. The prospects for biological control as a component of IPM is discussed.
