Biocontrol Market by Type , Mode of Application, Crop Type, and Region - Global Forecast to 2033

 

The global Biological Control market was valued at USD 4,546.51 million in 2023 and expected to grow at a CAGR of 11.6% during the forecast period.

Biological control is the practice of using living organisms to control the populations of other organisms, often pests or invasive species, that are causing damage to crops, natural ecosystems, or other environments. It is a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to traditional chemical control methods.

The concept of biological control dates back to ancient China, where farmers used ants to control pests on citrus trees. Today, biological control is widely used in agriculture, forestry, and conservation, and includes several methods:

Predators: Natural enemies of pests, such as insects or birds, are introduced into an environment to control the pest population. For example, ladybugs are used to control aphids on plants.

Parasites: Parasites are organisms that live on or within the host and can control their population. For example, wasps are used to control various pests, including whiteflies and mealybugs.

Pathogens: Pathogenic microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi, are used to control pests. For example, the bacterium Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is used to control caterpillars that feed on crops.

Cultural control: Cultural control methods involve manipulating the environment to control pests. For example, rotating crops can reduce pest populations by disrupting their life cycle.

Biological control has several advantages over traditional chemical control methods. It is often more effective in the long term, as pests cannot develop resistance to natural predators or parasites. It is also less harmful to the environment; as biological control methods do not leave harmful residues or contribute to pollution. Additionally, biological control can be less expensive than chemical control in some cases, as it involves fewer inputs and can be self-sustaining once established.
