Biocontrol has been promoted as an alternative to pesticides for decades, and the market for biocontrol products continues to grow. Biocontrol, as defined by the USDA National Institute of Food and Agriculture, is “the deliberate use of natural enemies - predators, parasites, pathogens, and competitors to suppress and maintain populations of a target pest species (insects, mites, weeds, plant pathogens, and other pest organisms).” 
“Until we can convincingly demonstrate that biocontrol can work as effectively as synthetic pesticides and return economic gains, biocontrol will continue to be perceived by risk-averse growers as a risky and high-cost practice,” said Seogchan Kang, one of the faculty members.
