For three days, the Universitat Jaume I of Castelló will host the fourth edition of the Plant Bioprotech Symposium, which will bring together more than three hundred researchers in the field of sustainable agriculture to discuss the most innovative technologies in the field of biocontrol that are being developed in the laboratories to reach the field.

The first day of work began with short speeches at an opening ceremony. In the first, the Vice-President of the European INVEST Alliance, Essaid Ait Barka, from the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, stated that "a key element of the Green Pact is the transition to a more sustainable agriculture that reduces environmental impact and maintains efficient, productive, environmentally friendly and profitable practices".

The Rector of the University of Reims Champagne-Ardenne, Christophe Clément, who spoke via video, then recalled that the aim of the symposium was to "create a synergy of cooperation between the scientific, business and institutional world working on biocontrol issues" and to give doctoral and post-doctoral students the opportunity to present the results of their research.

For his part, Jesús Lancis, Vice-Rector for Research at the public university of Castelló, pointed out that "plant health is vital not only for the well-being of our ecosystems, but also for food security and the economy", and thanked the participants for "their commitment to protecting natural resources and promoting sustainable agriculture".

UJI professor Víctor Flors, representing the International Organisation for Biological Control (IOBC), which co-organised the congress with Plant BioProTech, explained that the IOBC-WPRS is an organisation that promotes research, development and implementation of biological control and integrated pest management in agricultural and forestry crops.

In the final presentation, Johan de Coninck of Bioeconomy for Change (B4C), a cluster dedicated to the valorisation of biomass, stressed the importance of research and work in this field because "biological control and other technologies are the 'bio-solutions' to produce more, better and with less".

The symposium, which runs until Thursday 20 June, includes four main sessions on plant immunity, biostimulants, soil microbiome and climate change regulation, more than twelve prominent speakers and a dozen parallel sessions with more than 150 papers presented.
