Here we will discuss several examples of different taxa with a generalist host range and show that each of them has specific requirements and as a result require a specific risk assessment of their own.Īl-Zyoud FA (2015) Investigating barriers to adoption of biological control technology by vegetables and fruit trees’ growers in some governorates of Jordan.
Thus, generalist predators and parasitoids are often excluded a priori from being licensed. Establishing a generalist’s potential host range in a new area is one of the most challenging issues to be assessed prior to its introduction and release.
IMPORT OF BIOCONTROL AGENTS REGISTRATION
In regulatory requirements for regulation and registration of non-native agents, assessment of host specificity is one of the main criteria in evaluating risks. There is a wide variety of natural enemies used for biocontrol, each of which has its specific biological and ecological requirements. specificity) and direct and indirect non-target effects. In an Environmental Risk Analysis (ERA) benefits and risks of a biocontrol agent (BCA) or other beneficial organisms are assessed using criteria based on ecological determinants such as the potential and impact of establishment and dispersal, on known and new hosts (host range vs.
