  20. Biological control facts IOBC / wprs OILB / srop • Natural (biological) control • constantly active in all world ecosystems (55.5 billion ha) • affects 95% of potential arthropod pests(100 000 species) • Implemented control methods • targeted at the remaining 5 000 arthropod pest species • 8.5 billion US$ spent annually on insecticides => "Ecosystem service" value: minimum 400 billion US$ per year (Costanza et al.,1997) From IOBC Internet book of Biological Control, Oct. 2006 http://www.iobc-global.org http://www.iobc-wprs.org

  21. Biological control facts (continued) IOBC / wprs OILB / srop • "Classical" biological control: • 350 million ha(10% of cultivated land) • benefit-cost ratio 20-500 : 1 • Augmentative (commercial) biological control: • 16 million ha(0.05% of cultivated land) • benefit-cost ratio 2-5 : 1(same as chemical pest control) • > 5,000 introductions (2,000 arthropod species) for control of arthropod pests (196 countries or islands) in past 120 years • > 150 species of natural enemies (parasitoids, predators, pathogens) commercially available From IOBC Internet book of Biological Control, Oct. 2006 http://www.iobc-global.org http://www.iobc-wprs.org
