Baffoe, Kwabena Owusu Biological control Invasive Pest management Dissertation (MSc (Entomology))--University of Pretoria, 2017. The discussion of the interaction between the uses of pest management strategies is common in the agricultural sector. However, the same cannot be said about the pest management interactions in plantation forestry. Practices such as silvicultural control, the use of natural enemies, host plant resistance and the interaction between them in plantation forestry are discussed in this paper. Some of these management strategies are either synergistic or additive which is beneficial to the plants. But some may be antagonistic or complex relationships which do not benefit the plants. Plants allocate more resources to growth than defence in a moderate to high resource environments, thus to improve fertility in resource rich environments will reduce the defence of the plants. It is therefore important to do more studies on the interactions between combinations of management strategies in plantation forestry. Such optimization of management strategies is especially important given the increasing number of insect pest introductions around the world.
