The terms "biological control," abbreviated as "biocontrol," are used in biological disciplines like entomology and plant pathology. It is used in entomology to describe the usage of entomopathogenic nematodes, live predatory insects, and microbial infections to control pest insect populations. Additionally, in plant pathology, "biocontrol" means using microbial inhibitors to suppress diseases and using host-specific pathogens to manage weed populations. As a result, a biological control agent (BCA) is an organism that suppresses a pest or pathogen. These "natural enemies" or "opposing creatures" might be utilized in several ways.
