Research and Application of Biological Control Technologies for Forest Pests and Diseases

Abstract

This article focuses on the application of biological control technologies in forest pest and disease management. Firstly, it provides an overview of biological control technologies, highlighting their use of organisms or their metabolic products to control pests and diseases, with advantages such as environmental friendliness and sustainability. Subsequently, it analyzes the characteristics of forest pest and disease occurrences, including a wide variety of species, sudden outbreaks, large affected areas, and rapid spread, as well as exploring causes such as the increase in artificial forest areas, significant climate change, and over-reliance on chemical control. Finally, it emphasizes the application strategies of biological control technologies, including the use of natural enemies of pests and diseases, fungal control, avian control, and biological enzyme technologies. These strategies can effectively reduce the use of chemical pesticides, protect the ecological environment, maintain forest ecological balance, and provide a scientific, green, and sustainable approach to forest pest and disease management, which is of great significance for safeguarding forest resource health and ecological security.
