Biocontrol Research Services

Biostimulants and Biocontrol play a key role in sustainable agriculture by helping growers protect crops, improve plant health, and optimize productivity while reducing reliance on conventional chemical inputs. At SynTech Research, we provide comprehensive biostimulants and biocontrol services, supporting the development, testing, and registration of innovative biological solutions under diverse crops and growing conditions worldwide.
 

SynTech Research has delivered very many successful trials with Biopesticides for the control of pests and diseases. Agents tested include:

  • Macrobials – Invertebrate Biocontrol Agents (IBCAs) – Insects, mites and entomopathogenic nematodes.
  • Microbials and Microbial Biocontrol Agents (MBCA) – bacteria, fungi and viruses (and beneficial soil micro-organisms).

Trials are also conducted on Insect pheromones/semiochemicals.

Studies are conducted on an extensive range of arable and horticultural crops, using its worldwide network field stations in over 40 countries. These include screening and evaluation in laboratories/glasshouses/growth chambers and trials at the field stations and in commercial fields. Techniques include syringe application and chemigation with tailored irrigation systems – flood, sprinkler and drip.

SynTech Research Group is a member of the International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association (IBMA Global), participating in the acceleration of biocontrol authorisaion and laying the foundations for sustaining food security, a resilient agricultural sector and further development of the biocontrol industry as a dynamic force in shaping the future of crop protection.
