224. Derived from: Legner, E. F. 1985. Risk categories
of biological control organisms.
Proc. Calif. Mosq. & Vect. Contr. Assoc., Inc. 53: 79-82. Assigning
natural enemies to decreasing environmental risk categories, e.g.,
Terrestrial vertebrates, zoopathogens, phytopathogens, phytophagous arthropods,
terrestrial scavengers, aquatic vertebrates and invertebrates and
arthropodophagous arthropods, may provide a realistic base for allocating
research time to a particular group before importation. However, the amount of research necessary
to select the "Best" biological control candidates might be greater
for the least environmentally hazardous categories. Page 79 Page 80 Page 81 Page 82 |
