Abstract

Biological control is a common and widespread practice used for pest control, and is based on the convolution of species, understood as a process of reciprocal interactions involving two or more species. There are a multitude of examples and applications of this strategy, such as phytoinsecticides, the use of predatory insects, parasitism between insects and arachnids, etc. These methods have been applied to solve important problems, and their use has expanded since the publication of a series of standards (UNE 155400:2008) that allow certifying and differentiating the plant product based on its treatment with insects for the control of various pests.
