Abstract/Contents:Discusses biological control as a potential alternative to using pesticides to control insect pests, stating that "biological control involves the use of living organisms or products of living organisms to control pests." Distinguishes between different biological control agents, including parasites, predators, bacteria, entomopathenogenic nematodes, which "are able to attack insects but are incapable of attacking turfgrass or any other plant", and endophytes, which "are fungi which grow inside other plants."
