Abstract

Biological pest control, often known as biological pest control or biocontrol, is a sustainable and ecologically friendly method of pest management in agriculture. It entails using living organisms including predators, parasitoids and diseases to control pest populations and reduce agricultural loss. In this research study, the researcher used certain natural enemies (ladybirds, lacewings and trichogramma evanescens) to test their effects on protecting tomato and cucumber crops in greenhouses from harmful pests in the Sultanate of Oman. The results revealed that Green lacewing and Ladybirds played significant roles in eliminating whiteflies in both tomato and cucumber crops by effectively controlling their populations
