This grant is for this purpose to support the finalization of host specificity testing for biological control agents. This critical research aims to ensure that newly developed biological control agents exclusively target specific pests without posing a risk to non-target organisms or the broader ecosystem. The project is designed to generate essential data required for regulatory clearance and subsequent large-scale deployment of these agents. By advancing this critical phase of development, the grant seeks to facilitate the practical application of environmentally sound pest management solutions. This initiative will contribute significantly to sustainable land management, enhancing biodiversity and ecosystem health through the effective and safe control of invasive species, thereby supporting long-term ecological balance.
