Biocomes Eu Project

we will develop 11 new biological control products to control a number of important pests and diseases in agriculture, horticulture and forestry. furthermore, two new technologies to improve the production of nematode and virus agents will be developed. biocomes is a project co-financed by the eu. the eu emphasizes the role of integrated pest management as an important approach to reduce dependency on pesticides use. when pesticides are used, biological control measures – together with physical and other non-chemical methods – should have first preference. the eu is now giving a major boost to the biological control market by co-financing the biocomes project that started in december 2013 and will continue for four years. in this project 27 partners are involved. for more information please visit our website: www.biocomes.eu.
