Summary Introduction

To conclude: Whether the study differs at the end of the time period.

Introduction: Biological control agents are the natural enemies that are used to control the pests such as weeds, insects, mites, nematodes, and so on in order to generate a pest-free yield using methods namely predation, parasitism, and other means. The biological control agent such as Thelohania solenopsae is a natural enemy of the red imported fire ants. This microsporidian can decline the ant’s colony by infecting and shrinking the ovaries of the queen which is the female-reproducing ant.

Students have asked these similar questions
True or False? If false  Identify what word makes it false and what will make it correct   When larva eats the bacteria, then in the head of the larva, the toxin is releasedand the larva gets killed
Modified true or false.  Encode the word true if the statement is correct. If the underline word/s is incorrect, then correct the underlined word/s that makes the statement wrong by encoding the correct answer beside false. Answers must be encoded in capital letters 1. When Grammia incorrupta caterpillars are infected by a parasitoid, they show an increased preference for acidic toxins found in larval food plants, and by choosing to eat these toxic plants when infected, are able to increase survival.
Life cycle complexity Describe a generalized complex life cycle for a parasite that would encompass one or more intermediates hosts and multiple larval stages. Why would this heteroxenic life cycle be an evolutionary advantage over a monoxenic one?
