are unwanted They clog waterways, destroy wildlife habitats, and impede farming Their spread eliminates grazing areas and accounts for one-third of all crop loss They compete for sunlight, nutrients, and water with useful plants The global need for weed control had been answered mainly by the chemical industry Its herbicides are effective and sometimes necessary, but some pose serious problems, particularly if misused Toxic compounds threaten animal and public health when they accumulate in food plants, groundwater, and drinking water They also harm workers who apply them 10 In recent years, the chemical industry has introduced several herbicides that are more ecologically sound Yet new chemicals alone cannot solve the world‟s weed problems Hence, 11 scientists are exploring the innate weed-killing powers of living organisms, primarily insects and microorganisms 12 The biological agents now in use are environmentally benign and are harmless to humans They can be chosen for their ability to attack selected targets and leave crops and other plants 13 untouched In contrast, some of the most effective chemicals kill virtually all the plants they come in contact with, sparing only those that are naturally resistant or have been genetically modified 14 for resistance Furthermore, a number of biological agents can be administered only once, after which no added applications are
