“…I. purchasi is important as one of the first major successes of biological control. Rodolia cardinalis Mulsant (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) released to control, I. purchase, by (Causton et al 2006;Causton 2009 andCalderon Alvarez et al 2012). C. carnea predator had ability to control insects like coccidis, mealybug, psyllid, thirps, whiteflies and aphids on various crops (Hemalatha et al, 2014).…”

Release of the second larval instar Coccinella undecimpunctata L. (Coleoptera: Coccinellidae) and Chrysoperla carnea (Stephens) (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) predators as biological control agent against the population of Icerya purchasi Maskell (Hemiptera: Monophlebidae) under field conditions on Ficus trees at Orman garden at Giza governorate. The obtained result showed that, the average of reduction percentage of nymphs of I. purchasi were (69.7%, 77.9% and 81.7%) with the rate 30, 40 and 50 larval /tree of C. undecimpunctata, respectively. While reduction percentage of adults of I. purchasi were (65.2%, 72.1% and 77.1%) with the same rate of release. The obtained average of reduction percentage of nymphs of I. purchasi were (58.6%, 65.5% and 70.5%) with the rate 30, 40 and 50 larval /tree of C. carnea, respectively. Also, average of reduction percentage of adults of I. purchasi were (36.6%, 43.7% and 52.6%) with the rate 30, 40 and 50 larval /tree, of C. carnea respectively.The regression equation indicated that there was a highly positive relationship between the rate of release of C. undecimpunctata & C. carnea and reduction percentages for nymphs and adults stage of I. purchasi. The statistical analysis assured that there was a significant increase in the reduction percentage of nymphs and adults of I. purchasi at different rate of release second larval of C. undecimpunctata and C. carnea.

“…In addition to stabilizing littoral communities, healthy mangrove stands provide essential habitat for the critically endangered mangrove finch, Camarhynchus heliobates Snodgrass & Heller, on the island of Isabela (Galápagos), habitat threatened by the scale. More extensive evaluations of the impacts of this predator were begun in 2009 and additional benefits of this biological control project to native species on the Galápagos are still being measured (Calderon Alvarez et al 2012).…”

Use of classical biological control to suppress invasive plants or insects is often an important component of programs for the conservation and restoration of wildlands. Its use contributes to preservation of native biodiversity, maintenance of ecosystem services from wildlands, and protection of sources of natural resources for human societies. Use of classical biological control in wildlands is a form of planned, beneficial invasion and its effective use requires careful integration of conservation biologists and biological control scientists to define ecological goals for projects and to investigate and judge the potential safety of biological control agents proposed for release. Greater cooperation between these groups is essential for expanded and safe use of this process.

“…These plants are ecologically important species that were heavily attacked before the release of R. cardinalis . In addition to being effective, the BCA has been found to be safe, as no evidence from field observations or large cage studies was found of attack by R. cardinalis on non‐target insects (Calderón‐Alvarez et al ., ; and many others). Dendroctonus micans (great spruce bark beetle) is regarded as a major pest of spruce ( Picea spp.) from Eastern Siberia to the west of Europe.…”

Work of the EPPO/IOBC Panel on biological control agents

EPPO started work on biological control agents (BCAs) in 1996, and the joint EPPO/IOBC Panel was established in 1997. The history of the Panel is provided and EPPO Standards developed by the Panel are described. These Standards are: PM 6/1 ‘First import of exotic biological control agents for research under contained conditions’, PM 6/2 ‘Import and release of non‐indigenous biological control agents’ and PM 6/3 ‘List of biological control agents widely used in the EPPO region’. The last of these has been annually updated as a ‘Positive List’ of BCAs for which EPPO recommends its member countries to use a simplified procedure for import and releases. EPPO activities in biological control have been focused on the safety aspects of the introduction of invertebrate BCAs. However, the scope of EPPO's work in this area is now under review, and a number of issues are being considered by the Working Party on Phytosanitary Regulations. These include the remit of the Panel and Standards in relation to micro‐organisms, the evaluation of potential environmental benefits as well as potential risks from releases and the potential for use of BCAs against regulated pests and those recommended for regulation.
