  • Learn the classical description
  • Discover the science behind it

Biological control (also called "biocontrol") of weeds is the deliberate use of living organisms to limit the abundance of a target weed. Throughout this website, "biological control" refers to "classical biological control," which reunites host-specific natural enemies from the weed's native range with the target weed.
