Control method to be used if available, permitted and effective, e.g.

• Biopesticides (e.g. Bacillus thuringiensis, Beauvaria bassiana).
• Semiochemicals (e.g. Pheromone mating disruption)
• Botanicals (e.g. plant extract)
• Entomopathogenic nematodes (e.g. Steinernema spp., Heterorhabditis spp.) and fungi (e.g. Beauveria spp., Metarhizium anisopliae) for soil-borne pests (e.g. vine weevil, slugs, Melolontha spp. and others)
• Antagonistic / mycoparasitic fungi such as entomopathogenic fungi (Metarhizium anisopliae) for some typical pests of protected crops (e.g. Tetranychus urticae, Trialeurodes vaporariorum and thrips),
• Trichoderma spp. for root rots or Gliocladium catenulatumfor Botrytis spp. Control.
• Predatory mites against phytophagous mites, e.g. Phytoseiidae.
• Predatory mites and predatory insects such as Orius spp., against thrips.
• Predators (Chrysoperla, Aphidoletes, hoverflies) and parasitoids against aphids for protected crops.
• Coleopterans, such as Atheta coriaria (efficient in protected crop), for insects’ stages in the soil.
