The fast evaluation and introduction of a number of natural enemies in situations where chemical control was either insufficient, impossible or undesired, has taught crop protection specialists that biological control, within IPM programmes, is a powerful option in pest control. Commercially available natural enemies are listed, current research in biological control is described, incorrect criticism of biological control is discussed and specific advantages of using this control method in protected crops are given.
