important alternative foodstuff for the Phytoseiids (Wiedmer and Boller, 1990; Remund and Boller, 1992; Engel and Ohnesorge,1994) that are able to colonise even the grass flora, in particular many <strong>di</strong>cotyledons that then become another reservoir of useful species available for the grapevine (Lozzia and Rigamonti, 1998). Biological control, as can be seen from the above examples and from numerous other cases, has often been an efficacious and reliable instrument for a permanent solution linked to infestations of single phytophagous insects. However, it still cannot be considered suitable for the management of pests on the whole, not even limiting itself to animal organisms. Also in the case of the wine grapevine, which is perhaps the culture that today has the best situation, there have been problems following the expansion of flavescence dorée, a phytoplasma <strong>di</strong>sease carried by Scaphoideus titanus Ball, whose control requires the carrying out of treatments against the vector, interventions that risk to frustrate also the results obtained with biological control against other phytophagous insects of the grapevine. This situation can be generalised and applied to all viral, bacterial or phytoplasma <strong>di</strong>seases transmitted by vector organisms, whether they be insects, mites or nematodes. In these cases, in fact, it is necessary to maintain the populations of the parasite at extremely low density levels that cannot be obtained through the action of natural antagonists which for their own existence, need the presence of a suitable quantity of victims. Only the availability of resistant plants will make treatments against vectors superfluous in the future. The management of vector species, the one of key phytophagous insects of the various cultures for which usually “natural” control is not sufficient, the side effects of fungicide treatments are at present and in the near future the main obstacles to the creation of a phytosanitary defence against phytophagous insects only using biological control strategies. Another factor that must be considered and that today limits the reliability of biological control is the dynamic nature of agroecosystems. The appearance of new phytophagous insects, the pullulations of secondary or occasional species, the expansion of the area of numerous pests and so on, are highly probable events but they cannot be forecasted, and this makes it necessary to have continuous adjustments to the methods adopted even if they are widely experimented and to study new strategies. The same variability that exists between <strong>di</strong>fferent areas whereby a culture is <strong>di</strong>ffused implies the need not to generalise solutions but to find those more suitable to the single realities through a continuous process of experimentation. To sum up, we can say that biological control is without a doubt the main weapon on hand in modern agriculture for the management of phytophagous insects but it still requires many stu<strong>di</strong>es before all its potential can be used to the full and for a certain period of time it will be necessary to use more invasive techniques.
