Correspondingly the augmentation can be as well used as a preventative measure of pests.
So the process of augmentation is performed by people, who are releasing the natural enemies in a previously determined interval of time.
The reason behind the augmentation process becoming more and more popular is due to its positive effects. Starting from improving the effectiveness of natural enemies over pests up to the prevention that it offers.
Also, the augmentation can be performed with another approach that includes releasing of a large population of the control agent all at once. It is also known as an inoculative release.
Conservation
The conservation biological control is the type of natural pest control that is very much distinctive from the augmentation forms.
This process includes making a greater use of agent species. By that its purpose is to target the pests for the extermination point.
Nonetheless, the conservation conditions have been artificially created by humans. Its purpose was the same as the first one- which is to preserve the environment by using the most natural way of pest control possible.
