How does it work?

  1. Users enter their country and crop-pest query.

  2. The search generates a list of biocontrol and biopesticide products, together with their active ingredient and manufacturer, that are registered for the specified crop-pest problem in the selected country. This information is sourced directly from national governments’ lists of registered plant protection products.

  3. Further guidance on correct storage and application is also provided for products that belong to partner biocontrol manufacturers, together with links to product labels and distributor details (find out about becoming a partner to the CABI BioProtection Portal)
