Lack of sufficient time and of plant specificity are reasons why biological control is not feasible for annual weeds. The pest management approach in question emphasizes introduction of and support for exotic and native parasites, pathogens and predators. The biological control must be effective against specific targets and survive each year's colder months in order for cost-prohibitive, time-consuming maintenance and re-introduction schedules not to have to be re-enacted every year.

What is biological weed control?
Historically, you sent someone out into your garden or field with a hoe, and they chopped weeds or pulled them out by the roots. Chemical weeding involves spraying herbicides that target the most common weeds--not including the crop. Today, you might release an insect that feeds on the weeds but leaves the crop alone. These biological methods are not in common use yet. The biological method to get rid of tomato worms (horn worms), for example, is to pluck them off and stomp on them. Of course, that is pest control, not weeding.

What is the difference between mechanical and biological method of controlling weeds?
Mechanical means using machinery whereas biological means using another form of life to control the weed. Biological way is Eco-friendly. Go Bio whenever possible!
What is Fusilade?
A selective post-emergent herbicide is what Fusilade is.Specifically, Fusilade is a control of annual and perennial weeds which compete with grass and ornamental plants. It is called post-emergent because it is applied after the weeds appear. It is considered selective because it targets certain weeds such as Bermudagrass.
