The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Biological control and sustainable food production (2008, background): “After its first release in Nigeria in 1981, E. lopezi spread rapidly through neighbouring African countries and is now regarded as one the most successful programmes in biological control with enormous economic benefits (Neuenschwander et al. 2003).”
Current status and potential of conservation biological control for agriculture in the developing world (2013, background): “More so, in certain regions, such as Africa, virtually nothing is known about the effect of landscape structure on biological control (Neuenschwander et al., 2003).”
Exotic biological control agents: A solution or contribution to arthropod invasions? (2016, background): “There are many biological control success stories (e.g., Clausen 1978; Cock 1985; Cameron et al. 1989; Waterhouse and Sands 2001; Neuenschwander et al. 2003; Mason and Gillespie 2013) and we believe that these outweigh those examples where this approach to pest management has had negative impacts.”
Do new Access and Benefit Sharing procedures under the Convention on Biological Diversity threaten the future of biological control? (2010, methodology): “…(BC)—the use of an organism to reduce the population density of another organism— is one of the most environmentally safe and economically profitable pest management methods (Cameron et al. 1989; Clausen 1978; Cock 1985; Mason and Huber 2002; Neuenschwander et al. 2003; Waterhouse and Sands 2001).”
