The use of biocontrol products composed of natural substances is the subject of several CEPP sheets:
- Action n°20 : Reduce the use of conventional herbicides by means of a defoliant and desiccant biocontrol herbicide
- Action n°23 : Substitute metaldehyde-based anti-slug products with molluscicides of natural origin
- Action n°25 : Fight against downy mildew of grapevine using a biocontrol product
- Action n°28 : Fight against various pathogenic fungi of foliage using a biocontrol product
- Action n°33 : Regulate the number of fruits in apple orchards using a biocontrol product
- Action n°37 : Fight against wireworms in corn using a biocontrol product
- Action n°38 : Fight against piercing insects using a biocontrol product based on mineral oil
- Action n°39 : Fight against piercing insects using a biocontrol mineral powder
- Action n°43 : Fight against various pests under shelters using a natural biocontrol substance
