Environmentally benign fungal pathogens and naturally insecticidal plant extracts could offer a sustainable alternative to synthetic chemical pesticides. Fungal control does not have many of the problems associated with conventional control such as pest resistance, toxicity to humans and persistence in the environment. One downside to such a technology is that it can be slow acting to achieve effective control. In this project we will create a formulation combining fungal pathogens with pesticidal plant extracts for effective pest control. The new product may confer additional benefits as the modes of action may work in synergy to achieve greater pest control with less material required. This collaboration between the Natural Resources Institute and Eurorganic Ltd in the UK and Fujian Agriculture & Forestry University and Jiangxi Tian-Ren Ltd in China will also stimulate growth of the UK and Chinese market, provide safer working conditions, creating job opportunities and allowing local growers to receive a greater return for their produce by conforming to EU regulations on pesticide use.We will use field and laboratory studies to determine the optimal formulation.

无害环境的真菌病原体和天然杀虫植物提取物可以为合成化学农药提供可持续的替代品。真菌防治不具有与常规防治相关的许多问题，例如害虫抗性、对人类的毒性和在环境中的持久性。这种技术的一个缺点是，它可以缓慢地实现有效的控制。在这个项目中，我们将创造一种将真菌病原体与杀虫植物提取物相结合的配方，以有效控制害虫。新产品可能会带来额外的好处，因为作用模式可以协同工作，以更少的材料实现更大的害虫控制。英国自然资源研究所和Eurorganic Ltd与中国福建农林大学和江西天仁有限公司之间的合作也将刺激英国和中国市场的增长，提供更安全的工作条件，创造就业机会，并让当地种植者通过遵守欧盟关于农药使用的规定，从他们的产品中获得更大的回报。我们将通过实地和实验室研究，确定最佳配方。
