The Annual Biocontrol Industry Meeting (ABIM) 2023 welcomed over 1800 participants from 58 countries highlighting the essential role biocontrol plays in providing better solutions for plant protection and securing the future of food and farming. Organised by the Research Institute of Organic Agriculture FiBL and IBMA (International Biocontrol Manufacturers Association) in Basel, Switzerland, the 18th edition of ABIM, 23-25 October, was filled with inspiring discussions, insightful presentations, and innovative ideas. In addition, 115 exhibitors showcased a variety of nature-based solutions enabling farmers to grow food working with nature and enhancing on-farm resilience.

This article presents the findings of a national survey of Certified Crop Advisors (CCAs), reporting on their attitudes and perspectives towards pesticide resistance issues. Specifically, our 2022 survey addresses CCAs' levels of concern, barriers to discussing resistance management with their customers, the role of retailers and manufacturers, customers' constraints to management, future needs, and effective management options. We find high levels of concern among CCAs, particularly related to herbicide resistance. Various barriers include customer's economic and time constraints, conflicting retailer recommendations, and management complexity. Changing producers' mindsets through firsthand experience and the cultivation of trusting relationships between customers and CCAs are highlighted as ways to encourage more effective pesticide resistance management going forward.
本文介绍了一项针对注册作物顾问（CCAs）的全国性调查结果，报告了他们对农药抗性问题的态度和观点。具体来说，我们的 2022 年调查涉及注册作物顾问的关注程度、与客户讨论抗性管理的障碍、零售商和制造商的作用、客户对管理的限制、未来需求以及有效的管理方案。我们发现，承包商的关注程度很高，尤其是与除草剂抗性有关的问题。各种障碍包括客户的经济和时间限制、零售商建议的冲突以及管理的复杂性。通过第一手经验改变生产者的心态，以及培养客户与 CCA 之间的信任关系，是鼓励更有效地进行农药抗性管理的重要途径。

In a previous Editorial, the emphasis was on the need to adopt Integrated Pest Management (IPM), but for the majority of farmers, there is the need to spray a pesticide, which hopefully will increasingly be a biopesticide, but to control certain pests, a chemical pesticide may still be required. The need to control a disease, downy mildew (Peronospora viticola) on some grape seedlings from America was detected by Millardet in France back in 1878. The disease was not adequately controlled using sulphur, but after a farmer sprinkled some water, containing copper sulphate to deter children and travellers along the highways picking the grapes, Millar det developed a mixture of copper sulphate and lime as a fungicide that was named Bordeaux Mixture, which he tested on the foliage and the mildew. According to Lodeman (1896) the first systematic applications of copper sulphate, mixed with lime were in about 1884, when it was decided that this was the most promising of all the various mixtures that had been tried. The recipe was dissolving 8 kilos of commercial copper sulphate in 100 litres of water. In another container 15 kilos of quicklime were mixed in 30 litres of water. This was then mixed with the copper sulphate and stirred well and then some was taken in a pail and sprinkled using a small broom on the vine foliage. Interestingly, Millardet thought that in the case of severe rains, it might be advisable to make a second application.

The global spread of pests due to climate change poses a significant obstacle to ensuring a secure and healthy food supply for the growing world population. By 2050, the population is projected to increase from 7.6 billion to 9.8 billion, and it is estimated to reach 11.2 billion by the 21st century. A substantial portion of this growth will take place in sub Saharan Africa, where a quarter of the population is currently suffering from hunger. Tropical farmers face challenges with pests, diseases, and weeds. They are now dealing with new issues when non-native species suddenly appear. For instance, the Fall Armyworm came from America to West Africa and spread across Africa, Asia, and eventually reached Australia. Invasive species are species, like plants, animals, or microorganisms, not originally from an area. Their introduction disrupts the natural processes of an ecosystem, threatening biodiversity, food security, health, and economic development. Sometimes, species are introduced intentionally or accidentally, and they can establish themselves, competing with the local ecosystem and taking over the new environment.

Whilst there is currently much greater awareness of the detrimental impacts on human health caused by highly hazardous pesticides in developed countries, many developing countries have been slow to react. Although the most toxic pesticides are no longer registered for use within Europe, there have been many tragedies caused by the application of hazardous pesticides in other areas of the world. For example, in India, the spraying of the organophosphate insecticide, monocrotophos, listed as Highly hazardous by the World Health Organisation (WHO) has resulted in the death of many farmers growing cotton when using a knapsack sprayer and holding the nozzle at head height in front of their face.
