Key issues in formulation of biocontrol agents for plant protection
摘要
Synthetic chemical pesticides have become widely criticized for their adverse impacts on non-target organisms and humans. As a result, there is a significant paradigm shift, marked by an increasing demand for pest control alternatives that are more sustainable and environmentally friendly. The European Parliament even recommends prioritizing low-risk pesticides and biological control measures, stating that appropriate risk management measures should be established when pesticides are used (European Parliament, 2009).
