Biopesticides and Biofertilizers for Crop Production
Dr Angela Feechan, Dr Rainer Melzer, and Dr Saoirse Tracy introduce their new research project, BioCrop. Crop production is dependent on manufactured fertilisers and pesticides/fungicides. The use of biobased products and innovations may provide a viable alternative while addressing sustainability and the environmental impacts of these such as GHG emissions. BioCrop will develop new and test existing biofertilizers and biopesticides for cereal production providing alternatives for growers in the face of EU regulations on fertiliser use and the loss of plant protection products.
