The use of natural enemies to weed control in Latin America has been investigated considering both the classical and the bioherbicide approaches. This region has a wide diversity of organisms that can be exploited as biological control agents. Although the undergoing studies are limited to few teams of research institutions, mainly in Brazil, the increased importance of biological control of weeds can stimulate other Latin American scientists to contribute to this area.  aBiological control agents  aBiological corridors  aNatural enemies  aWeeds  aControle biológico  aErva Daninha  aInimigo Natural  aPlanta invasora1 aVITORINO, M.
