This chapter examines the implementation of biological control strategies within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) for major coconut insect pests, focusing on the Coconut Hispine Beetle (CHB), Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle (CRB), and Coconut Scale Insect (CSI). It explores various biological control agents, including parasitoids, predators, and entomopathogens, detailing their effectiveness in managing these pests across different coconut-producing regions. The chapter emphasizes the importance of understanding pest bioecology and host-parasitoid interactionsInteraction for successful conservation biological control. It also discusses the integration of advanced agricultural technologies and communication tools in IPM, highlighting the potential of artificial intelligence in enhancing pest control efficiency. The authors address challenges in implementing biological control, such as mass rearing techniques, release strategies, and the need for farmer education and institutional support. Overall, the chapter underscores the critical role of biological control in sustainable coconut pest management, promoting biodiversity conservation and reducing reliance on chemical pesticides.
