Biological control of insect pests in British Columbia greenhouses

通过该计划获得的设备将促进不列颠哥伦比亚省(BC)农业部门关于害虫管理的研究。开展节肢动物捕食性天敌和寄生蜂在重点害虫生物防治中的应用研究。昆虫和其他节肢动物害虫继续对不列颠哥伦比亚省的农业生产产生重大经济影响。新的害虫物种继续被引入农业，要么是通过与国际贸易有关的意外引进，要么是由于与气候变化有关的范围扩大。通过生物防治控制害虫为农业中使用化学杀虫剂提供了一种可持续的、基于生态的替代方案。杀虫业生产捕食性和寄生性节肢动物，用于害虫物种的生物防治。杀虫剂公司大举后方

Equipment acquired through this program will facilitate research regarding management of insect pests in the British Columbia (BC) agricultural sector. We will conduct research on the use of arthropod predators and parasitoids for biological control of key pest species. Insect and other arthropod pests continue to have substantial economic impact on agricultural production in BC. New pest species continue to be introduced into agriculture either through accidental introductions related to international trade, or as a consequence of range expansions associated with climate change. Management of pests via biological control provides a sustainable ecologically-based alternative to the use chemical pesticides in agriculture. The insectary industry produces predatory and parasitic arthropods used for biological control of pest species. Insectary companies mass rear
