BIOCOMES – The choice of targets
Impact on implementation of Directive 2009/128/EC on
use of IPM in agriculture and forestry
Impact on pesticide use
Huge markets
www.biocomes.eu
We develop a seed coating to control
Verticillium wilt in Brassica
Agro Plantarum
Mariann Wikström
The seed coating is
based on the agents
Serratia plymuthica
Paenibacillus polymyxa
www.biocomes.eu
We work on a biological spray
application against Powdery mildew in
cerealsThe product will be
based on a European
wide screening of
antagonists
Agro Plantarum

We develop a seed treatment to control
Fusarium spp. in maize
The treatment is based
on the agent
Trichoderma harzianum
Agro Plantarum

To control cabbage moth we work on a
novel parasitoid-based product
Parasitoid
Telenomus sp.
Agro Plantarum

We develop a biocontrol product to
control tomato leaf miner and potato
tuber moth
The product is based on
PhopGV baculo viruses
www.biocomes.eu
We work on a product to control White
fly in vegetable crops
The product is based
on the microbial
Isaria fumosorosea
Agro Plantarum

We identify a parasitoid to control aphids
Aphids of apple, plum,
pear, peach, apricot,
cherry
Parasitoid

We develop a biological product to
control brown rot in stone fruits
The product is based on
Penicillium frequentans 909
Bacillus subtilis CPA-8

To control Gypsy moth in the forest we
work on a virus based control product
The biocontrol agent
we use is
LdMNPV Baculovirus
www.biocomes.eu
We develop a nematode based product
to control Large pine weevil in the forest
Biocontrol agent
Entomopathogenic
nematodes
www.biocomes.eu
To control Damping off in forest
nurseries we develop a biocontrol
productThe product will be based on
Serratia plymuthica,
Paenibacillus polymyxa,
Trichoderma harzianum

Technology development
For a more cost-effective production of
entomopathogenic nematodes as
basis for biocontrol products
www.biocomes.eu
Production technologies
BIOCOMES will focus on the development of
the in vitro production of the LdMNPV virus to
allow a significant further up-scaling of the
production
