  • Bioprotection: the FUTURE

    Karine Grosbeau

    International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association

    [email protected]@elephant-vert.com

    (www.ibma-global.org)

  • The voice of the Biocontrol industry, representing all its members to promote biocontrol tools and bring them to the market via proportionate regulation modern, green biocontrol tools, inspired by, harnessed or harvested from nature.

    More than 250 members:• Producers• Distributors• Knowledge Transfer organisations• Consultancies for the industry - regulation, strategy -• Research Institutes - private and public ones -

    • Founded in 1995• Based in Brussels

    What is IBMA?

  • IBMAa member of the BPG global federation of biocontrol associations

  • IBMA principal activities

    • IBMA participates to the activities of international public organisations and institutions such as OECD, FAO, WHO, the European Commission, EFSA, etc..., In addition, we collaborate with other agri stakeholders including farmers association, NGOs and other industry associations.

    • IBMA shares its expertise and promote collaboration among its members.

    • IBMA partners with other organisations defending biopesticides, in order to reinforce its positions.

  • UN Sustainable Development Goals

    Aim to :End poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all: a healthy and productive environment is needed to support this.

    Agricultural intensification puts pressure on the environment and increases threats to human health.

  • Natural SubstancesMacroorganisms SemiochemicalsMicroorganisms

    BioprotectantsWe do not have an unique and uniform agreed definition for biocontrol. Terms as biocontrol, biopesticides, bioprotectants, natural, identical to nature, are terms often related to biocontrol.

  • Bioprotectants globally

    Food security

    30 – 40 % crops lost before harvest

    >10 % after harvest

    Bioprotectants

    increasingly the mainstay of sustainable crop protection

    To meet the challenges

    we need ``Best Practice´´crop protection

  • Sustainable Use Directive – IPM

    IPM – Working with Nature

  • Bioprotectant markets

    * DunhamTrimmer, 2018

  • EU biological* PPP - active substances> 30% = biologicals

    TOTAL biopesticides: 134 (17) = 151

    EU active substances (updated February 2019)*

    * Definition of biological PPP not fixed so approximate numbers only

    Total all PPP = 493

  • EU new plant protection products – pending*

    * October 2016

  • Increase of the macro-biological species number available in commercial products in the United Kingdom.

    Biocontrol Market Development

  • There has been a significant increase of the number of biologal products approved for use, f.i. in the United Kingdom.

    Biocontrol Market Development

  • • Efficacy – killing target pest

    • Efficacy - yield and quality improvement

    • Host specificity

    • Use in IPM programmes

    • Useful for resistance management

    • Useful for residue management

    Benefits of biological plant protection

    • Growers - crop management

    • Worker safety

    • Favourable environmental footprint

    • Use in organic production

  • Strategies to use biocontrolCompared to nature, cropping systems are less stable.

    Often populations of the naturally occurring biocontrols are too small or develop too late to prevent plant damage.

    Management intervention needed

    Can be harnessed in agriculture by:

    • Introduction

    • Conservation

    • Augmentation

  • Adding floral resources to vineyards in New Zealand

    Growing flowering plants between vines attracts & retains parasitoids of leafroller caterpillars.

    Now used by 80 wine growers in New Zealand.

    Wine marketed as ´´environmentally friendly´´.

    Strategies to use bioprotectants - augmentationBiocontrol products are used to replace chemical pesticides but this underestimates the potential of the technology. To get the best they should be used in IPM.

    • New technology – education/ costs/ value to business• Understanding risks (or lack of risks?)• New approach to crop protection – change resistance

  • IBMA call for appropriate and proportional regulation

    PROPOSAL FOR SOLUTIONS

    To ensure implementation in the circular bio-economy in the agricultural sector, appropriate, streamlined and faster regulatory procedures that will deliver sustainable bioprotection solutions and provide innovative tools for farmers and other users of the natural environment need to be enacted.

  • What are the advantages of a new regulatory system for bioprotectants?Eliminating disproportionate costs compared to the risks these technologiesrepresent

    Efficiently assessing the risk specifically linked to bioprotection technologies, in consequence reducing the required resources whilst appropriately addressing potential risks

    Shorter evaluation periods resulting in more bioprotection products placed faster on the market, replacing products deemed to be of concern
