Biocontrol at SIVAL
The Biocontrol Village: a dedicated area at the heart of the show
Already present in previous editions as part of conferences or on exhibitor stands, biocontrol at SIVAL has had a dedicated space since its 35th edition (2022): the Biocontrol Village. This space, co-constructed with Alliance BiocontrôleAlliance Biocontrôle, is a unique place for companies to showcase all existing techniques based on natural solutions to improve farm performance.
By offering direct access to biocontrol innovations and facilitating dialogue between the various players in the sector, the Biocontrol Village plays a crucial role in promoting more sustainable production methods.
The Biocontrol Forum - Plant health
Biocontrol at SIVAL also means the Biocontrol Forum. Every morning at SIVAL, technical institutes invite visitors to attend short presentations on biocontrol solutions, ideas and work in progress.
Biocontrol products are defined in the French Code Rural et de la Pêche Maritime (CRPM) as "agents and products using natural mechanisms as part of integrated pest management. They include in particular :
- Macro-organisms
- Plant protection products comprising micro-organisms, chemical mediators such as pheromones and kairomones and natural substances of plant, animal or mineral origin."
Company pitches with Alliance Biocontrôle
Over the 3 days of SIVAL, Alliance Biocontrôle member companies will be presenting their biocontrol solutions in the afternoons. These presentations take place in the Biocontrol Forum in the Village.
