Biocontrol products are playing an increasingly important role in plant protection and will grow with the Ecophyto 2018 directive and the questioning around the use of synthetic products.
A survey of farmers and agricultural advisors reveals that «75% of farmers and 89% of advisors are interested in biocontrol products for field crops protection as they are healthy for users and have a good environmental profile». However, as for now, only 4 biocontrol products are available for use on field crops. Currect research should lead to more products related to field crops' pests management.
