Bacillus thuringiensis is used to control
1 Bacterial pathogens
2 Fungal pathogens
3 Nematodes
4 Insect pests
Explanation:
Bacillus thuringiensis is used to control insect pests. Spores of this bacterium possess the insecticidal cry protein. Therefore, spores of this bacterium kill larvae of contain insects.

Dragonflies play an important role because they:
1 are pollinating agent
2 feed entirely on mosquito adults and mosquito larva
3 add to silvan beauty
4 are vectors for disease carrying germs
Explanation:
Dragonflies play an important role because they feed entirely on mosquito adults and mosquito larva, which helps to control mosquito population. Dragonflies are used as biological agent as they prey upon mosquitoes. Dragon flies are used as biological agent as they prey upon mosquitoes. Biocontrol is the natural method of pest and pathogen control using biological agents i.e. Microbes and insects.

Trichoderma harzianum has proved a useful microorganism for
1 Bioremediation of contaminated soils
2 reclamation of wastelands
3 gene transfer in higher plants
4 biological control of soil-borne plant pathogens
Explanation:
Trichoderma harzianum is a fungus that is used as a biocontrol agent against a variety of soilborne plant pathogens. It works by competing with the pathogens for nutrients and space, and by producing enzymes that can break down the pathogens cell walls.
