From Research to Regulation: A Deep Dive into Bacteriophage Applications and Challenges webinar

Plant diseases caused by bacterial pathogens are a major constraint on crop production worldwide. Management of bacterial diseases is a challenge as control options are very limited. Extensive use of antibiotics and copper in agriculture can lead to the evolution of resistance in the pathogens and therefore it is generally not acceptable due to economic, environmental and public health impacts.

Phage therapy employing bacteriophages to target specific bacteria has emerged as a promising alternative that offers very specific, safe and environmentally friendly treatments. The development of bacteriophages for disease control needs to take into consideration the particular pathogens present and their diversity, the formulation and application timings for each particular crop and the complex regulation of plant protection products.

This webinar provides you with a comprehensive overview of the development and registration challenges and trends in the bacteriophage sector, enhancing your understanding and strategic approach in your professional role.
