Presentation

Conservation Biological Control practices are closely related to the habitat management approach and are one of the main tools for the ecological management of pest arthropods. It is known that ecosystem biodiversity can provide many benefits to the agrosystem such as improved pollination, wildlife conservation, increased productivity, carbon sequestration and pest suppression. However, given the complexity of trophic web interactions in the ecosystem, this practice still faces challenges regarding its applicability in the field.

The CBC Neotropical Working Group aims to evaluate and disseminate research knowledge and results on Conservation biological control in Latin America by offering a discussion forum to enable information exchange and stimulate cooperation among scientists working with Conservation biological control in Latin America and the Caribbean.
