خيارات المكافحة البيولوجية (معلومة)
حشرة and سوس that feed on the seeds and cones of P. pinaster can be effective مكافحة حيوية للآفات options. An insect or mite that acts as an ideal biological control should have a high معدل الخصوبة الكلي and be عائل (أحياء), meaning that it preys specifically on P. pinaster. The دورة حياة (أحياء) of the predator should also match that of its specific host. Two key characteristics the predator should also exhibit are ذاتي الحد and the ability to survive in the presence of a declining prey population. Seed feeding insects are an effective control because they have high reproductive rates and target the seeds without diminishing the positive effect of the plant on the environment. Controlling the spread of P. pinaster seeds in the region is the key to limiting the growth and spread of this species because P. pinaster has the ability to produce a large number of seeds that are capable of dispersing very efficiently. One possible option is Trisetacus, an كهربيات (فصيلة) mite. The main advantage to using this mite to control the population of P. Pinaster is its specificity to P. pinaster; it can effectively control the population of P. pinaster by destroying the growing conelets in P. pinaster while limiting its impact to only this species. Another possible option is Pissodes validirostris, a cone-feeding weevil that lays eggs in developing cones. When the يرقة hatch, they feed on the growing seed tissue, preventing P. pinaster seeds from forming and dispersing. Although the adults feed on the trees as well, they do not do any damage to the seeds and only feed on the shoots of the tree, so they do not appear to negatively impact the growth of the trees. Different forms of P. validirostris have diverged to become host-specific to different pine trees. The type of P. validirostris that originated from البرتغال appears to have specialized to P. pinaster; therefore, this insect may be used in the future to control the spread of P. pinaster in South Africa. The uncertainties regarding the host-specificity of different types of P. validirostris, however, require more research to be completed before the introduction of the weevils into South Africa. An introduction of a species that is not host-specific to P. pinaster can lead to detrimental effects on both the environment and صناعة that are dependent on certain tree species. Two other biological control possibilities include the ناريات وأشباهها moth species Dioryctria mendasella and D. mitatella, but these species attack the vegetative نسيج حيوي instead of just the seeds of P. pinaster, harming the plant itself. As of now, the eriophyid mite and cone-feeding weevil seem to hold the most potential to controlling the spread of P. pinaster in the regions it has invaded because they destroy the reproductive structures of the target invasive species.
