Biocontrol has been ineffective against major agricultural pests in the field, and has not provided the tools to cost-effectively compete with chemical pesticides, despite the theoretical benefits. The ecological and evolutionary reasons for the lack of effectiveness have been examined in detail in a recent book (Vurro et al., 2001a) along with suggestions on how to safely enhance their activity.
