An online bioprotection resource has now been launched in English and French by a global group called CABI. The portal helps growers and pest management advisors identify, source, and correctly apply biocontrol and biopesticide products for their specific crop-pest problems. 

The CABI Bioprotection Portal was officially launched online.  The event, attended by more than 130 participants, included presentations from the portal’s partner representatives, Dr. Gina M Swart of Syngenta Crop Protection AG, Brian Spencer from Applied Bio-nomics Ltd and Rachel Hagel of TerraLink.

Users of the CABI BioProtection Portal enter their country and crop-pest query in the system and generate key information on biocontrol and biopesticide products that are authorised by national regulators for that specific search. Information is sourced directly from national governments’ list of registered pesticides and from partner biocontrol manufacturers.

The innovative tool has been made available in collaboration with its network of partner biocontrol manufacturers: Applied Bio-nomics, TerraLink, Biobest, e-nema, Idai Nature, Koppert Biological Systems, Oro Agri and Syngenta.
