Invasive Alien Plant Biological Control Agent Treatment Area

Polygon geometry for a biological control agent treatment area. An application of a biological control. Biological control is the use of a weed's natural enemies (chiefly insects and pathogens) to reduce its population below a desired level. It can be divided into the following two approaches: inundative and classical. Inundative biological control uses mass application of an organism to attempt to eliminate a weed from an area.
