English to Portuguese: Biological Control General field: Science Detailed field: Environment & Ecology
Source text - English Biological control or biocontrol is a method of controlling pests, whether pest animals such as insects and mites, weeds, or pathogens affecting animals or plants by using other organisms. It relies on predation, parasitism, herbivory, or other natural mechanisms, but typically also involves an active human management role. It can be an important component of integrated pest management (IPM) programs.
There are three basic strategies for biological control: classical (importation), where a natural enemy of a pest is introduced in the hope of achieving control; inductive (augmentation), in which a large population of natural enemies are administered for quick pest control; and inoculative (conservation), in which measures are taken to maintain natural enemies through regular reestablishment.
Natural enemies of insects play an important part in limiting the densities of potential pests. Biological control agents such as these include predators, parasitoids, pathogens, and competitors. Biological control agents of plant diseases are most often referred to as antagonists. Biological control agents of weeds include seed predators, herbivores, and plant pathogens.
Biological control can have side-effects on biodiversity through attacks on non-target species by any of the above mechanisms, especially when a species is introduced without a thorough understanding of the possible consequences.
Translation - Portuguese Controle biológico ou biocontrole é um método de controle de pragas, sejam elas pragas animais como insetos e ácaros, plantas daninhas, ou patógenos afetando animais ou plantas utilizando outros organismos. Ele utiliza predação, parasitismo, herbivoria, ou outro mecanismo natural, mas tipicamente envolve um ser humano ativamente no papel de manejo. Ele pode ser um componente importante nos programas de manejo integrado de pragas (MIP).
Existem três estratégias básicas par ao controle biológico: o clássico (importação), em que um inimigo natural da praga é introduzido na esperança de se conseguir o controle; indutivo (aumentativo), em que uma grande população de inimigos naturais é inserida para um controle de pragas rápido; e inoculante (conservativo), em que medidas são tomadas para manter os inimigos naturais por meio de restabelecimento regular.
Inimigos naturais de insetos tem um importante papel em limitar a densidade de pragas em potencial. Agentes de controle biológico como esses incluem predadores, parasitoides, patógenos e competidores. Agentes de controle biológico de doenças de plantas são geralmente referidas como antagonistas. Agentes de controle biológico de plantas daninhas incluem predadores de sementes, herbívoros e patógenos de plantas.
O controle biológico pode ter efeitos colaterais na biodiversidade por meio de ataques em espécies não-alvo por qualquer um dos mecanismos acima, especialmente quanto a espécie é introduzida sem um entendimento profundo das possíveis consequências.
