Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural enemy insects are excellent biological control agents for the control of major crop pests and invasive pests. In recent years, countries all around the world have carried out research and used natural enemy insects, which have a good effect on the control of major pests, such as Fall Armyworms and corn borers.
This Special Issue focuses on the development regulation and biological control of natural enemies of insects, sharing the results of basic theoretical and applied evaluation studies.
