OBJECTIVES 

  Product Development Division develops plant protective materials that are environmentally friendly in aim to substitute conventional pesticides. These environmentally friendly materials are non- or low-toxic biopesticides and chemical materials, including microbials with insecticidal, fungicidal, herbicidal, and multi-functions and safe pesticide formulations.

  The division has successfully developed several indigenous microbial products, including Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. kurstaki and Bt aizawai which are insecticidal, Bacillus amyloliquefaciens with multiple functions, entomogenous fungi, and microbial herbicides. Several male insect attractants are also developed into semiochemical products. In addition, the division has also established several quality control techniques and physicochemical test systems that comply with Good Laboratory Practice (GLP). These developments received domestic and foreign patents as well as authorization rights on product production and quality control techniques.

  To ensure the effectiveness of these developed materials and to apply them under safe and economic conditions, safe materials application techniques in integrated pest management (IPM) are also included in our studies, providing various effective materials to extend the usage of safety materials in fields.
