New application techniques (e.g. under-leaf application) could help to solve this problem in organic vegetable production. Definition of the problem: All microbial biocontrol agents and pesticides of vegetal origin are UV degraded. New application technology could augment effectiveness of these products. Project aims: Find new application technologies for a more adapted application of organic pesticides and microbial biocontrol agents in organic vegetable production. Methodology: On-farm test of different new application techniques and with different pesticide agents.
