Disease and nematode management in organic farming systems is the reliance on the inherent equilibrium in nature. Insect pests have natural enemies that keep their numbers in check. The natural enemies category are insect predators (insects that consume part or all of pest insects), parasitoids (insects that use other insects to produce their offspring, thereby killing the pest insect in the process) Delate (2005), and pathogens (diseases that kill or decrease the growth rate of insect pests). The predatory insects in organic farms include lady beetles, lacewings, and mites. The parasitic insects include wasps and flies that lay eggs in or on pest insects like larvae or caterpillars.
