Our app includes a search tool you can use offline. Downloading the app requires a stable internet connection and requires approximately 20-40MB of storage space on a device per country.
Enter your country and crop-pest query to begin a search. This search generates a list of biological control and biopesticide products (with their active ingredient and manufacturer/registrant) registered for use in the specified country for the crop-pest combination.
We also have a resources section on the portal. This area includes all the information you need to become informed on topics such as the basics of bioprotection, integrated pest management, pest and crop guides, and real-life examples.
Bioprotection products are made with human health and the environment in mind. These products have their origins in nature and cause less disruption to the environment compared to conventional pesticides, which can often lead to harmful runoff, killing of beneficial insects, and pesticide resistance.
Lack of knowledge about low-risk alternatives to pest management is hindering widespread adoption of biopesticides and biocontrol products as alternatives to hazardous chemical pesticides. CABI created the CABI BioProtection Portal in order to help bridge this gap in awareness. By placing practical information on bioprotection products and direct connections to manufacturers all in one place, users can easily see what products are available in their country, and how to effectively source, store, and apply them.
The creation of this tool coincides with an increasing demand for safer and more sustainable food production worldwide. The portal is already available in more than over 40 countries, with more in the pipeline. In putting biopesticide and biocontrol information at the fingertips of growers, advisors and agro-input dealers, this portal aims to be the one-stop resource for those looking to implement more sustainable pest management practices.
