Biological control provides less invasive, sustainable alternatives that, when integrated into IPM, reduce chemical residues and meet demanding market requirements.
Choose methods based on target species and environment: predators, parasitoids, pheromones or microbial agents. Plan controlled releases in non-production zones and monitor effectiveness with sampling. Conduct pilot trials to validate outcomes and document population reduction metrics for ISO 22000 audits. Combine biological control with sealing, cleaning and waste management for an integrated approach. Implement protocols to minimize risks (cross-contamination, product impact) and source accredited suppliers. Results are typically gradual: pest reduction and lower chemical residues, improving acceptance by residue-sensitive customers.
