With the help of Clonostachys rosea CR-7 it is now possible to combat the microorganisms that transmit diseases or generate infectious problems in plants. The innovation has been developed by Canadian company Bee Vectoring Technologies (BVT) and, simply put, consists of a broad-spectrum agent that acts against multiple phytopathogens. This compound is used as a fungicide and bees are responsible for its distribution in commercial crops of flowering plants, such as tomatoes or strawberries. Host plants do not suffer any damage from CR-7, which means that the bio-pesticide is useful in extending the life of other modes of action, when it is used either as a replacement or in combination with other types of fungicides. During testing it has proved to be harmless to living beings, as it does not use water or chemicals that are harmful to health. It is also a complex and physical acting compound, making it difficult to create resistance to a pathogen. The BTV brand guarantees that a teaspoon of the fungicide yields as much as 4.5 litres of traditionally sprayed pesticide and, in addition to efficiency, presents lower health risks for farmers. The compound has been approved by the US Environmental Protection Agency and is still awaiting approvals in other countries, although the company is already in the research phase to use other elements alongside Vectorite CR-7.
