Removing a tomato hornworm by hand is an example of biological pest control. T or F?

False, but that is just nasty!Removing a tomato hornworm by hand is an example of biological pest control. T or F?
False but this sounds like homework. The tomato hornworm is the caterpillar stage of the lovely sphinx moth. If you remove by hand, put is somewhere away from the tomatoes so it can complete its cycle.
False...if you are doing it by hand...
I guess technically its true since a human is a biological entity, but I think using preying mantis or other insect predators to control pests is really what they mean by biological pest control.
unique perspective!
True, it is one of the best methods.... handpick and remove.





I always grow organic heirloom tomatoes, being organic the best and only way that I have concluded is to hand pick them and remove them.





Here is a great source for Organic Tomatoes... and added bonus for you.
