Abstract

Argentina hosted pioneering classical weed biological control projects that were carried out by state institutions between the 1970s and 1990s, at a time when the practice was almost unheard of in Latin America. Despite the early development of these initiatives, the discipline did not prosper and all projects were discontinued. Notwithstanding, Argentina continued to provide biological control agents for the control of weeds in many other parts of the world, ensuring the expertise persisted. Although public concern about invasive plants and chemical-dependent agricultural practices has increased over time, it did not lead to a greater acceptance of classical biological control of weeds, which is still regarded with mistrust or ignored in many public and academic circles alike. Furthermore, there are no systems in place to reach a consensus on declaring weeds as targets for biological control in Argentina. In this paper we discuss different ways in which the community of researchers working in the field in Argentina can help relaunch the biological control of weeds, including the preparation of a prioritized list of target species. A list of this kind would not only reduce costs, but also help in developing trust in the discipline of biological control informing regulators and decision makers in this regard. Prospects are brighter today than a few years ago, but considerable communication and educational work on the benefits of this practice is still required to gain more support before it can effectively be re-implemented.

阿根廷杂草生物防治的前景
阿根廷在 20 世纪 70 年代至 90 年代期间,由国家机构主持开展了一些开创性的传统杂草生物防治项目,当时这种做法在拉丁美洲几乎闻所未闻。尽管这些举措在早期得到了发展,但这门学科并没有兴旺起来,所有项目都被终止了。尽管如此,阿根廷仍继续提供生物控制剂,用于控制世界许多其他地区的杂草,确保了这一专门知识的持续存在。虽然随着时间的推移,公众对入侵植物和依赖化学品的农业生产方式的关注度有所提高,但这并没有使传统的杂草生物防治技术被更多人接受,许多公众和学术界仍然对其持不信任或忽视的态度。此外,阿根廷还没有建立相关制度,就宣布杂草为生物防治目标达成共识。在本文中,我们将讨论阿根廷从事野外工作的研究人员可以通过哪些方式帮助重新启动杂草的生物防治,包括编制一份优先目标物种清单。这样一份清单不仅可以降低成本,还有助于建立对生物防治学科的信任,为监管者和决策者提供这方面的信息。与几年前相比,今天的前景更加光明,但仍需就这一做法的益处开展大量的宣传和教育工作,以获得更多的支持,然后才能有效地重新实施。

期刊介绍: Biological control is an environmentally sound and effective means of reducing or mitigating pests and pest effects through the use of natural enemies. The aim of Biological Control is to promote this science and technology through publication of original research articles and reviews of research and theory. The journal devotes a section to reports on biotechnologies dealing with the elucidation and use of genes or gene products for the enhancement of biological control agents. The journal encompasses biological control of viral, microbial, nematode, insect, mite, weed, and vertebrate pests in agriculture, aquatic, forest, natural resource, stored product, and urban environments. Biological control of arthropod pests of human and domestic animals is also included. Ecological, molecular, and biotechnological approaches to the understanding of biological control are welcome.
