In the last decade, we have witnessed a shift in the agriculture industry. Traditionally dominated by the intensive use of chemicals, the plant protection market is undergoing a transformation towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly practices. This change not only responds to a greater awareness of the negative effects of chemical pesticides, but also to a global imperative of transition towards a greener world, aligning with the European Union’s 2030 agen

The phytosanitary biocontrol industry is experiencing an increase worldwide, and Latin America is leading the way. Let’s look at why this region is so important and what are the trends that are leading it towards leadership in the global biocontrol market.

Baculoviruses, identified as double-stranded DNA viruses, specialize in infecting insects, particularly those belonging to the Lepidoptera order, notably economic pests like caterpillars. Characterized by their rod-shaped virions, baculoviruses possess distinct biological attributes that render them appealing for pest control applications. Their intricate biology, encompassing aspects such as life cycle, genetic diversity, and molecular interactions with insect hosts, underscores their potential as potent tools in the realm of insect pest management. This makes them a promising focus for those seeking effective and sustainable solutions in agriculture and pest control.

Biotechnology, a fascinating and ever-evolving field, revolves around the manipulation of living organisms to develop innovative solutions in various industries. From healthcare to agriculture, biotechnology plays a critical role in shaping the future.

What is Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)? Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, and spore-forming bacterium that produces a parasporal body, known as crystal, that consists
