Agrauxine and biocontrol in the spotlight on the 8 o'clock news!

This June 7, 2018, Agrauxine Lesaffre Plant Care and the theme of biocontrol were featured in the report "Agriculture: larvae and insects replace pesticides" produced by TF1.

"We're not trying to eradicate pest populations, we're trying to control them," says Antoine Meyer, President of IBMA France, on the subject of biocontrol. The aim is for the farmer to use techniques that respect both the environment and society.

Patricia Letousey, Head of Research at Agrauxine Lesaffre Plant Care, explains how mushrooms work against wood diseases in grapevines, a major problem for the wine industry: once they have developed, they reduce the spread of pathogenic fungi through spatial and nutrient competition, thanks to Esquive WP.

In short, as Hugo Bony, Managing Director of Agrauxine Lesaffre Plant Care, explains, the aim is "to have no change for the farmer, and to provide effective products".
