Biological control is controlling insect populations not with pesticide, but with their natural enemies, like ladybugs in the case of aphids. This kills only the pests, and no other species. There's also no risk of the pest becoming resistant!

That would be called biological control of insects.

This process is an example of biological pest control. By releasing sterile male insects into the environment, the population of that species is reduced as they are unable to reproduce effectively, leading to a decline in their numbers over time.

Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) spray will help control Lepidopteran insects in cabbage. It's also approved for organic vegetable production (at least in the US).
