Biological pest control is on a fast increase and is expected to provide the greatest breakthroughs in the world of bioprotection in the near future. Products and technologies that are in the market today are for example pheromones, plant extracts and micro-organisms such as viruses or bacteria or gene/gene-derived technologies.
Integrating these pest biocontrol products in farmer practices along with other technologies such as insect monitoring/trapping systems and smart application technologies will drive our agricultural systems to control insects in a more sustainable manner.
Generally, biological products for the control of fungal and bacterial diseases are increasingly available today and include mostly plant extracts, micro-organisms such as viruses or bacteria, minerals or gene/gene-derived technologies.
Integrating these biocontrol products in farmer practices along with other technologies such as disease monitoring systems and smart application technologies will drive our agricultural systems to control diseases in a more sustainable manner.
Increasing attention is given to the importance of a balanced soil microbial life. Biological products will preserve or even improve this soil ecosystem. Various types of these products are commercially sold today, they include for example plant extracts and micro-organisms originally detected in soils which can fight soil diseases through competition for space or through excretion of compounds toxic to the fungal or bacterial pathogen.
Integrating these biocontrol products in farmer practices along with other technologies such as disease and insect monitoring systems and smart application technologies will drive our agricultural systems to become increasingly sustainable and to help soil ecosystems back to a natural balance.
Biological products able to control weeds are globally one of the largest grower pain points and are scarce in the market today because the development of effective biological technologies is particularly challenging from a technical point of view.
Some products for non-selective weed control are on the market including for example plant extracts or micro-organisms. However, still a lot is to gain on effectiveness, residuality and user friendliness of these current solutions.
Integrating biocontrol in farmer practices along with other technologies such as mechanical weeding and smart application technologies will drive our agricultural systems to control weeds in a more sustainable manner.
