Difference between Agriculture and Biological pest control

Agriculture vs. Biological pest control

Agriculture is the cultivation of land and breeding of animals and plants to provide food, fiber, medicinal plants and other products to sustain and enhance life. Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests such as insects, mites, weeds and plant diseases using other organisms.

Similarities between Agriculture and Biological pest control

Agriculture and Biological pest control have 18 things in common (in Unionpedia): Bacillus thuringiensis, Biodiversity, Brown-tail, Companion planting, Compost, Egg, Insect, Integrated pest management, Irrigation, Legume, Lymantria dispar dispar, Mite, Organic farming, Parasitoid, Pest control, Plant pathology, Push–pull agricultural pest management, Sustainable agriculture.

Bacillus thuringiensis

Bacillus thuringiensis (or Bt) is a Gram-positive, soil-dwelling bacterium, commonly used as a biological pesticide.

Companion planting

Companion planting in gardening and agriculture is the planting of different crops in proximity for any of a number of different reasons, including pest control, pollination, providing habitat for beneficial creatures, maximizing use of space, and to otherwise increase crop productivity.

Compost

Compost is organic matter that has been decomposed in a process called composting.

Egg

An egg is the organic vessel containing the zygote in which an animal embryo develops until it can survive on its own; at which point the animal hatches.

Integrated pest management

Integrated pest management (IPM), also known as integrated pest control (IPC) is a broad-based approach that integrates practices for economic control of pests.

Lymantria dispar dispar

Lymantria dispar dispar, commonly known as the gypsy moth, European gypsy moth, or North American gypsy moth, is a moth in the family Erebidae that is of Eurasian origin.

Organic farming

Organic farming is an alternative agricultural system which originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices.

Parasitoid

A parasitoid is an organism that lives in close association with its host and at the host's expense, and which sooner or later kills it.

Pest control

Pest control is the regulation or management of a species defined as a pest, a member of the animal kingdom that impacts adversely on human activities.

Plant pathology

Plant pathology (also phytopathology) is the scientific study of diseases in plants caused by pathogens (infectious organisms) and environmental conditions (physiological factors).

Push–pull agricultural pest management

Push–pull technology is a strategy for controlling agricultural pests by using repellent "push" plants and trap "pull" plants.
