For a pest control technique that is currently enjoying strong growth, biological control of pests has a long history. In fact, as far back as the late 1800s it proved a success when citrus growers in California, USA, introduced a predatory insect, the vedalia beetle, and a parasitoid fly from Australia to control Icerya purchasi, the cottony cushion scale, that was devastating their crops.
Everyone knows farming can be a difficult and complex job. Farmers have to juggle so many factors in their decision making: fluctuations in the price of inputs, in crop prices and in the weather conditions all have to be taken into account. Decision support systems (DSS) are designed to alleviate some of the stress, making it easier to judge when and with what to treat crops to achieve a profitable harvest, and hold out the prospect of significantly reducing pesticide use.
