8. What is the ecological principle behind the biological control method of managing with pest insects?

Answers (1)

The biological principle involved is Predation. In this way, pest populations are kept under check by predators and parasites. The predators act as biological control by preying upon insect pests. Examples include control of mosquito larvae in the water bodies by Gambusia fish; and control of aphids by ladybird beetles.
