ECONOMIC ENTOMOLOGY
CC60002-CC60020
CC60014 BIOLOGICAL CONTROL
Frequencies Major (9590) Minor (570)
Applications This code retrieves studies on the control of
i n s e c t and arachnid pests by using living organisms and
their metabolic by-products or by affecting the reproductive
life cycle of the pest.
Examples Studies on · control of insect pests by using
parasites · microbial extracts from fungi as biological
control agents · breeding for diapause control · use of
infertile insects for biological control of insect pests ·
control of insect pests using viruses · intercropping
Strategy Recommendations
· For studies of the biological control of a truck crop pest,
use this code with appropriate keywords and the Economic
Entomology-Field, Flower and Truck Crops code CC60004
and appropriate Biosystematic Codes.
· For studies of the use of infertile insects obtained through
chemo- or radiation sterilization as pest control agents,
use this code with appropriate keywords and the Economic
Entomology-Chemical and Physical Control, General;
Apparatus code CC60016
· For mixed studies on biological and chemical control,
use the Economic Entomology-Integrated Control c o d e
CC60015.
· For studies of diseases, parasites and predators of honey
bees, use the Apiculture code CC60018.
· For studies of diseases, parasites and predators of
silkworms, use the Sericulture code CC60020.
