Assuring the safe use of microbial biocontrol agents: a need for policy based on real rather than perceived risks

1996-01-01

Abstract excerpt

Agriculture makes relatively little use of microorganisms which are introduced/applied for pest and disease control, yet such microorganisms represent enormous resources with proven potential as biological control agents. One reason for their underemployment is the lack of fundamental information on their biology and ecology, needed to achieve more consistent biological control. Another reason is the requirement t...
