Why Commercialisation of Biocontrol Products Is Essential
Commercialisation of biocontrol products is essential for the growth, development and sustainability of the biopesticide industry.
First, commercialisation of biocontrol products helps to increase the demand for the sought after technology. At present, there are various hurdles for the adoption and use of biocontrol products which include high cost of production, lack of awareness among farmers and other stakeholders, technical problems associated with biocontrol agents and limited understanding about potential benefits of using biocontrol agents in the crop production system. In order to address these issues, it is necessary to create awareness about the benefits offered by biocontrol products through marketing campaigns. This will help in increasing demand for biocontrol products, which ultimately leads to increased production and sale of these products.
Second, commercialisation at large scale will reduce the production costs by increasing volume sales. At the moment, high initial investment and slow rates of return are two major issues faced by the biopesticide industries, which ultimately affect the farmers who want to use organic pesticides as an alternative to chemical pesticides. In order to make biopesticides more accessible to farmers, it is important that these products be commercialised so that large quantities can be purchased at one time instead of small quantities from different companies.
Furthermore, commercialisation allows for the testing of new products in controlled environments before they are released into the wild. This ensures that any potential negative side effects are identified before releasing them into the environment, where they could cause harm or damage other non-target organisms or human beings.
Another reason why commercialisation is essential is that it provides funding for innovative research to come up with new technologies that will help improve biocontrol products even more than they already are. This means that there will always be new ways to keep crops safe from harmful pests.
