Abstract

Biological control is an often effective and environmentally friendly method for controlling pests. It can be improved by applying genetic and genomic knowledge and methodology. In this introduction, we highlight the articles that constitute this special issue on how to exploit genetic variation of biocontrol traits and molecular techniques to increase the efficacy of biocontrol agents. We also provide links to videos that explain the concepts of biological control and selective breeding.
