Biocontrol means are a natural alternative to chemical pesticides. The popularity of biocontrol is growing along with the growing need for safer and more sustainable plant protection means
“The 2021 meeting was a kind of marathon for our team – scores of meetings with new and current partners, useful presentation sessions, inspiring talks with industry counterparts. The awareness and interest to biocontrol are growing, and we this in our domestic market in Ukraine, as well as with our partner regions in Eastern, Southern and Western Europe, which is also demonstrated by the growing number of business meeting at ABIM. It is important that regulators help to bring manufacturers and customers together in the shortest way.”
