insects help keep the natural system in balance and prevent explosive pest population growth from taking over essential natural resources. There are over 6000 insect species that have been considered biological control agents and are being used to fight
of the host plant to infection, and chemical and biological control agents. ELIMINATION OF PATHOGEN INOCULUM The first step in reducing the likelihood of infection by Colletotrichum spp. is soil disinfestation. Elimination of the pathogen from
establishment of biological control agents on host tissue before the pathogen is crucial for proper disease suppression. According to Kessel et al. (2002) , sporulation of B. cinerea was not significantly reduced when U. atrum was applied 12 h or less
