This document discusses biological control or biocontrol, which uses other organisms to control pests like insects, weeds, and plant diseases. There are three main methods of biological control: importation, augmentation, and conservation. Importation involves introducing a pest's natural enemies into a new area. Augmentation boosts populations of natural enemies that already exist in an area. Conservation protects and supports existing natural enemies like providing nectar plants to boost parasitoids and predators. Common biocontrol agents include predators like ladybugs and lacewings, parasitoids like wasps and flies, and pathogens like Bacillus thuringiensis bacteria and Beauveria bassiana fungus.
Biological control (from the ecological viewpoint) is, “the action of parasites, predators, or pathogens in maintaining another organism's population density at a lower average than would occur in their absence.”
insect pest controlled via microbes, microbial control, bacteria used for control, fungi used for control, virus used for control, some other microbes used for control, name of microbes economically used
the repeated use of the same chemical which has the same mode of action that leads to the loss of insect sensitivity and also heritable change would occur in the genome nothing but resistance that means the population not able to control with the normal dose need to develop resistant management strategies
Parasitoids and Predators, their attributes.Bhumika Kapoor
Insect parasitoids have an immature life stage that develops on or within a single insect host, ultimately killing the host, hence the value of parasitoids as natural enemies. Adult parasitoids are free-living and may be predaceous. Parasitoids are often called parasites, but the term parasitoid is more technically correct. Most beneficial insect parasitoids are wasps or flies, although some rove beetles (see Predators) and other insects may have life stages that are parasitoids.
where as the Major characteristics of arthropod predators includes adults and immatures are often generalists rather than specialists, they generally are larger than their prey, they kill or consume many prey males, females, immatures, and adults may be predatory and they attack immature and adult prey.

The successful management of a pest by means of another living organism (parasitoids, predators and pathogens) that are encouraged and disseminated by man is called biological
control. In such programme the natural enemies are introduced, encouraged, multiplied by artificial means and disseminated by the man with his own efforts instead of leaving it to nature.
Commonly used European and western country used that predatory mite.
In especially green house crops to manage phytophagous mite along with thrips.
Predatory mites deserve special mention in an agricultural country like India, where agriculture is always under threat of constant pest attack.
Predatory mites of the family phytoseiidae constitute a highly significant beneficial group on account of their vital role in the maintenance of pest population below EIL.
Predatory mites are now valued with growers worldwide as natural enemies that provide effective pest control in green house and on agricultural crops
Phytoseiid mites have received global attention since the 1950’s.
The species of Phytoseiidae are potentially important as a biotic factor in the control of phytophagous mites particularly Tetranychid and Eriophid mites.

Sex determination refers to the developmental programme that commits the embryo to either the male or the female pathway. The animal kingdom possesses a wealth of mechanisms via which gender is decided, all of which are represented among the insects.
Biological Pest Control/ Biological Control SystemChandan Gupta
Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests such as insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases using other organisms.[1] It relies on predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an active human management role. It can be an important component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
There are three basic strategies for biological pest control: classical (importation), where a natural enemy of a pest is introduced in the hope of achieving control; inductive (augmentation), in which a large population of natural enemies are administered for quick pest control; and inoculative (conservation), in which measures are taken to maintain natural enemies through regular reestablishment.[2]
Natural enemies of insect pests, also known as biological control agents, include predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and competitors. Biological control agents of plant diseases are most often referred to as antagonists. Biological control agents of weeds include seed predators, herbivores and plant pathogens.
Biological control can have side-effects on biodiversity through attacks on non-target species by any of the same mechanisms, especially when a species is introduced without thorough understanding of the possible consequences.
Role of Synergists in Resistance ManagementJayantyadav94
Any chemical which in itself is not toxic to insects as dosages used, but when combined with an insecticide greatly enhances the toxicity of insecticide is known as synergist. Process of activation is synergism. Helps in penetration and stabilization of insecticides, and prevents the detoxification of insecticides

The term biopesticides refers to compounds that are used to manage agricultural pests by means of specific biological effects. It refers to products containing biocontrol agents like natural substances such as plants, certain minerals, animals, micro organisms including their genes or metabolites.
Pest control is the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, a member of the animal kingdom that impacts adversely on human activities. The human response depends on the importance of the damage done, and will range from tolerance, through deterrence and management, to attempts to completely eradicate the pest. Pest control measures may be performed as part of an integrated pest management strategy.
Arthropod predators and insect pest controlResearchWap
Insect pests are those insect species that are injurious or a nuisance. They cause injury or damage to crops in the field and grains in storage. Man and his domesticated animals are also attacked by insect pests. Arthropod predators belong to the phylum Arthropoda and are most times beneficial in the control of insect pests. Arthropod predators are members of the phylum Arthropoda which capture and feed on the prey. They are generally larger than their prey and kill or consume many prey during their life time.

Biological Control to Maintain Natural Densities of Insects and Mites by Fiel...Premier Publishers
In the present study, the biological control of insects and mites to maintain their natural densities by field releases of lady beetles (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) is analyzed. Female lady beetles may lay from 20 to more than 1000 eggs over a one to three month period, near prey such as aphids in protected sites on leaves and stems. Lady beetles have hefty appetites and one tiny alligator like larva can eat over two dozen aphids a day, and single adult can eat over twice of that much. In other words, one larva will eat about 400 medium-size aphids during its development to pupal stage and an adult lady beetle may eat over 5,000 aphids during its lifetime (about a year). Usually, reddish-orange lady beetles eat aphids, and darker ones more often eat spider mites, whiteflies and scale insects. The best time to release lady beetles into garden is late in afternoon or at sundown, which can encourage them to stay for night and find suitable food and protection. Dampen the ground or plants before releasing of lady beetles, can encourage them to stay and drink water. About 1000 lady beetles can rid an acre of ground from most of soft-bodied pests and release beetles at base of plants at 20 feet apart or more so that they can hunt for food. Ability of collected lady beetles to reproduce is suspended (reproductive diapause), so eggs are not produced for several weeks after release. Pre-fed lady beetles prior to release can allow some eggs maturation, but few researchers or companies also provide such pre-conditioned lady beetles. The trends of prey devouring demonstrate profound effects that lady beetle may have on target and non-target pests, and highlight their importance for initiating of biological control programs.

Ethanol (CH3CH2OH), or beverage alcohol, is a two-carbon alcohol
that is rapidly distributed in the body and brain. Ethanol alters many
neurochemical systems and has rewarding and addictive properties. It
is the oldest recreational drug and likely contributes to more morbidity,
mortality, and public health costs than all illicit drugs combined. The
5th edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(DSM-5) integrates alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence into a single
disorder called alcohol use disorder (AUD), with mild, moderate,
and severe subclassifications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013).
In the DSM-5, all types of substance abuse and dependence have been
combined into a single substance use disorder (SUD) on a continuum
from mild to severe. A diagnosis of AUD requires that at least two of
the 11 DSM-5 behaviors be present within a 12-month period (mild
AUD: 2–3 criteria; moderate AUD: 4–5 criteria; severe AUD: 6–11 criteria).
The four main behavioral effects of AUD are impaired control over
drinking, negative social consequences, risky use, and altered physiological
effects (tolerance, withdrawal). This chapter presents an overview
of the prevalence and harmful consequences of AUD in the U.S.,
the systemic nature of the disease, neurocircuitry and stages of AUD,
comorbidities, fetal alcohol spectrum disorders, genetic risk factors, and
pharmacotherapies for AUD.

Flu Vaccine Alert in Bangalore Karnatakaaddon Scans
As flu season approaches, health officials in Bangalore, Karnataka, are urging residents to get their flu vaccinations. The seasonal flu, while common, can lead to severe health complications, particularly for vulnerable populations such as young children, the elderly, and those with underlying health conditions.
Dr. Vidisha Kumari, a leading epidemiologist in Bangalore, emphasizes the importance of getting vaccinated. "The flu vaccine is our best defense against the influenza virus. It not only protects individuals but also helps prevent the spread of the virus in our communities," he says.
This year, the flu season is expected to coincide with a potential increase in other respiratory illnesses. The Karnataka Health Department has launched an awareness campaign highlighting the significance of flu vaccinations. They have set up multiple vaccination centers across Bangalore, making it convenient for residents to receive their shots.
To encourage widespread vaccination, the government is also collaborating with local schools, workplaces, and community centers to facilitate vaccination drives. Special attention is being given to ensuring that the vaccine is accessible to all, including marginalized communities who may have limited access to healthcare.
Residents are reminded that the flu vaccine is safe and effective. Common side effects are mild and may include soreness at the injection site, mild fever, or muscle aches. These side effects are generally short-lived and far less severe than the flu itself.
Healthcare providers are also stressing the importance of continuing COVID-19 precautions. Wearing masks, practicing good hand hygiene, and maintaining social distancing are still crucial, especially in crowded places.
Protect yourself and your loved ones by getting vaccinated. Together, we can help keep Bangalore healthy and safe this flu season. For more information on vaccination centers and schedules, residents can visit the Karnataka Health Department’s official website or follow their social media pages.
Stay informed, stay safe, and get your flu shot today!

2. Biological control or biocontrol is a method
of controlling pests such
as insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases uses other
organism.
It relies on Predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other
natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an
active human management role.
It can be an important component of integrated pest
management (IPM) programs.
3. A Parasitoid wasp
( Cotesia congregeta )

in its host , a tobacco
hornworm (Manduca
sexta).
Syrphus Hoverfly larva
feed on aphids , making
them natural
biologicalcontrol agents.
5. •Rodolia cardinalis , the vedalia
beetle, was imported from
Australia to California in the 19th
century, successfully
controlling cottony cushion sale.
Importation or classical
biological control involves
the introduction of a pest's
natural enemies to a new
locale where they do not
occur naturally.
Early instances were often
unofficial and not based
on research, and some
introduced species became
serious pests themselves.
6. Augmentation involves the
supplemental release of
natural enemies that occur in
a particular area, boosting the
naturally occurring
populations there.
In inoculative release, small
numbers of the control agents
are released at intervals to
allow them to reproduce, in
the hope of setting up longer-
term control and thus
keeping the pest down to a
low level, constituting
prevention rather than cure.
Hippodamia convergens, the
convergent lady beetle, is
commonly sold for biological
control of aphids
7. The conservation of existing natural
enemies in an environment is the
third method of biological pest
control.
Natural enemies are already
adapted to the habitat and to the
target pest, and their conservation
can be simple and cost-effective, as
when nectar-producing crop plants
are grown in the borders of rice
fields.
These provide nectar to support
parasitoids and predators of
planthopper pests and have been
demonstrated to be so effective that
farmers sprayed 70% less
insecticides and enjoyed yields
boosted by 5%.
• An inverted flowerpot filled
with straw to attract earwigs.

9. Predators are mainly free-living
species that directly consume a large
number of prey during their whole
lifetime.
Given that many major crop pests
are insects, many of the predators
used in biological control are
insectivorous species.
Lady beetels, and in particular their
larvae which are active between May
and July in the northern
hemisphere, are voracious predators
of aphids, and also
consume mites, scale insects and
small caterpillars.
• Predatory Lacewings are
available from biocontrol
dealers.
10. Parasitoids lay their eggs on or in the
body of an insect host, which is then
used as a food for developing larvae.
The host is ultimately killed. Most
insect parasitoids are wasps or flies,
and many have a very narrow host
range.
The most important groups are
the ichneumonid wasps , which
mainly use caterpillars as
hosts; braconid wasps, which attack
caterpillars and a wide range of
other insects including aphids;
chalcidois wasps, which parasitize
eggs and larvae of many insect
species.
• Encarsia formosa, widely used
in greenhouse horticulture, was one of the
first biological control agents developed.
• Life cycles of greenhouse whitefly and its
parasitoid wasp Encarsia formosa
11. Pathogenic micro-organisms include bacteria, fungi,
and viruses.
They kill or debilitate their host and are relatively
host-specific.
Various microbial insect diseases occur naturally, but
may also be used as biological pesticides.
When naturally occurring, these outbreaks are
density-dependent in that they generally only occur as
insect populations become denser.
12. Bacteria used for biological control infect insects via their
digestive tracts, so they offer only limited options for
controlling insects with sucking mouth parts such as
aphids and scale insects.
Bacillus thuringienesis, a soil-dwelling bacterium, is the
most widely applied species of bacteria used for biological
control, with at least four sub-species used
against Lepidopteran (moth, butterfly), Coleopteran (beetl
e) and Dipteran (true fly) insect pests.
The bacterium is available to organic farmers in sachets of
dried spores which are mixed with water and sprayed onto
vulnerable plants such as brassicas and fruit trees.
13. Entomopathogenic fungi, which cause disease in
insects, include at least 14 species that attack aphids.
Beauveria bassiana is mass-produced and used to
manage a wide variety of insect pests
including whiteflies, thrips, aphids and weevils.
Lecanicillium spp are deployed against white flies,
thrips and aphids.
Metarhizium spp. are used against pests including
beetles, locusts and other grasshoppers, Hemiptera,
and spider mites.
14. Fungal pests
Botrytis cinerea on lettuce, by Fusarium spp.
and Penicillium claviforme , on grape
and strawberry by Trichoderma spp., on strawberry
by Cladosporium herbarum, on Chinese cabbage by Bacillus
brevis, and on various other crops by various yeasts and
bacteria. Sclerotinia sclerotiorum by several fungal
biocontrols. Fungal pod infection of snap
bean by Trichoderma hamatum if before or concurrent with
infection.Cryphonectria parasitica, Gaeumannomyces
graminis, Sclerotinia spp., and Ophiostoma novo-ulmi by
viruses.[ Various powdery mildews and rusts by
various Bacillus spp. and fluorescent Pseudomonads.
Colletotrichum orbiculare will suppress further infection by
itself if manipulated to produce plant-induced systemic
resistance by infected the lowest leaf.
