Active substance reduction & market pressure over growers
The most widely used active substances for Rhizoctonia solani control in potato cultivation are currently under European Commission scrutiny for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) as degradation products, and their long-term effects on soil and water quality.
Being prepared means having alternatives that match their efficacy on controlling disease. And if those alternatives also deliver better marketable yield and improve soil health season after season — here is how modern biotechnology makes it possible, backed by scientific evidence and field data.

ROOTED IN SCIENCE
More then 20 years of research in biological control agents for plant protection
More than 25 years ago, Emeritus Professor Dr. María Isabel Trillas at the Universitat de Barcelona identified an exceptional strain of Trichoderma asperellum: highly effective, adaptable to different crops and conditions, active against multiple soil-borne pathogens, and capable of working through different application strategies. That strain, now patented and registered as T. asperellum strain T34, became the scientific foundation of Biocontrol Technologies.
What began as scientific research soon proved to have a much broader value. T34 was not a microorganism to remain confined to the laboratory: over years of trials, crops and field conditions, it continued to demonstrate its potential as a practical biological tool for modern crop protection.
Today, the Chair of Microorganisms in Agriculture — a joint initiative of Biocontrol Technologies and the University of Barcelona maintains this commitment to applied research.
