Biological Pest Management
Biological pest management in cannabis cultivation refers to using natural predators, parasitoids, and microorganisms to control pest populations instead of synthetic pesticides. Common approaches include introducing beneficial insects like predatory mites, ladybugs, and parasitic wasps, or deploying fungal and bacterial biocontrols targeting specific pests. This classification encompasses integrated pest management (IPM) strategies that breeders and cultivators document when selecting for pest-resistant genetics or maintaining cultivation environments. Lineage records frequently note which strains demonstrate natural resilience to common cannabis pests, informing decisions about breeding stock and cultivation protocols.

Breeders working in this category often select parent plants showing natural pest resistance or vigor traits that reduce reliance on chemical inputs. Documented pest tolerance within strain families informs grower decisions about cultivar selection for organic and sustainable production systems.
