Our team is dedicated to developing bio-based solutions that promote plant health and suppress diseases. We are utilizing novel biocontrol agents that have proven effective against a wide range of fungal and bacterial pathogens, while also promoting plant growth and inducing systemic resistance mechanisms. This eco-friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides offers low risk to non-target organisms, is safer for humans, provides options for controlling pests resistant to synthetic pesticides, and meets the stringent chemical residue requirements of premium markets. The development of biopesticides is cost-effective and eliminates residue problems, making them a viable option for farmers to produce fresh fruit and vegetables. Despite their benefits, biopesticides face low farmer adoption due to perceptions of slower pest control and a lack of knowledge. To increase the uptake of biocontrol, we plan to develop next-generation biopesticides using multiple strains for superior pest suppression and engage in knowledge exchange with key stakeholders to accelerate their adoption.
