Vedclass · Answer

(A) Biocontrol agents are living organisms used to control pests in agriculture. Unlike chemical pesticides,which are often toxic and cause environmental pollution,biocontrol agents are self-replicating and target-specific. They do not leave harmful residues in the environment,making them an eco-friendly alternative. Therefore,they are considered self-replicating in the context of their ability to multiply and persist in the environment to manage pest populations.
