Abstract
The use of predators, parasitoids or pathogens to control forest or urban insect pests.
Systems under study
Classical biological control with predators (Rhizophagus grandis against Dendroctonus micans in France and D. valens in China)
Conservation biological control with predators: Thanasimus formicarius in France and in Belgium;
Conservation biological control with parasitoids: braconids et pteromalids in France and Belgium;
Microbiological control of Ips typographus using Beauveria bassiana in Belgium.
