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.

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

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.

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
