\n\n \n REGULATORY & AGRONOMIC CONTEXT\n <\/span>\n\n

\n Fewer active substances, poorer soils, the same crop to protect\n <\/h2>\n\n
\n\n

\n Conventional fungicides are being withdrawn across an increasing number of markets, driven largely by evidence of their negative impact on human health and the environment (persistance in soil and their mobility towards groundwater). Every withdrawal narrows the toolbox available against the soil-borne and foliar pathogens \u2014 Fusarium<\/em>, Pythium<\/em>, Rhizoctonia<\/em>, Sclerotinia<\/em>\u2026 \u2014 that remain among the most damaging constraints on yield and quality in high-value crops. \n <\/p>\n\n

\n The same intensification that reduced the chemical toolbox has also reduced the biological capacity of the soil itself. Repeated applications, short rotations and compaction deplete the microbial communities that regulate the rhizosphere naturally, leaving each successive crop more exposed. \n <\/p>\n\n

\n \n Restoring that biology is no longer an agronomic aspiration; it is a precondition for stable production.\n <\/strong>\n <\/p>\n\n

\n Growers, however, cannot suspend disease control while this transition takes place. What the sector needs is a tool that controls pathogens with the reliability of a conventional programme, actively rebuilds soil biology, and is authorised where the crop is grown. For biological solutions, registration \u2014 not efficacy \u2014 has been the limiting factor. \n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n \n ROOTED IN SCIENCE\n <\/span>\n\n

\n More than 20 years of research in biological control agents for plant protection\n <\/h2>\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n
\n\n

\n More than 25 years ago, Emeritus Professor Dr. Mar\u00eda Isabel Trillas at the Universitat de Barcelona identified an exceptional strain of Trichoderma asperellum<\/em>: highly effective, adaptable to different crops and conditions, active against multiple soil-borne pathogens, and capable of working through different application strategies. This strain, T. asperellum<\/em> strain T34, was first patented and later registered as plant protection product and became the scientific foundation of Biocontrol Technologies, S.L. \n <\/p>\n\n

\n What began as scientific research soon proved to have a much broader value. T34 was not a microorganism to remain confined to the laboratory: over years of trials, crops and field conditions, it continued to demonstrate its potential as a effective biological tool for modern crop protection. \n <\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n\n\n

\n\n

\n Today, the Chair of Microorganisms in Agriculture<\/strong> \u2014 a joint initiative of Biocontrol Technologies and the University of Barcelona maintains this commitment to applied research.\n <\/p>\n\n\n
