Practicing biocontrol in market gardening
Biocontrol relies on living agents or those derived from living organisms. It is part of an integrated biological protection approach that ensures the protection of crops and harvests using products with a more favorable toxicological and ecotoxicological profile, thus potentially better maintaining biodiversity.
This article aims to present a non-exhaustive list [1] of biocontrol products applicable in organic vegetable farming[2].
