Biopesticide Companies Come to the Fore as Sales of Traditional Crop Protection Products Drop.

DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c54699) has announced the addition of Volume 8: The Biopesticides Companies of Europe to their offering.

"Volume 8: The Biopesticides Companies of Europe" is a subset of the 2007 Biopesticides study which is broken down into 11 volumes.

Sales of crop protection products are falling world-wide as everyone has become much more sensitive to the damage we are doing to our environment and to our food. Organic food sales are booming as consumers increasingly show they are willing to pay more for pesticide-free fruit, vegetables, milk, eggs and meat. Governments are requiring that growers use less pesticide and farmers are seeking ways to get more for their crops. The opportunities for alternatives to chemical pesticides continue to grow rapidly as do the many successful products introduced in the recent past.

Many effective and cost-effective methods of biological pest control have been successfully achieved. Technical developments in the past few years have been impressive and there are many niche markets available to the entrepreneur or entrepreneurial company. Integrated pest and crop management systems have become much more sophisticated.

To understand the opportunities and challenges of the biopesticides business the 11 volumes cover in depth the markets and the players. Each volume will really help your business succeed.

The 7th edition, presently available as 11 volumes, brings you up to date in 2007 on the markets and market prospects, the companies in the business, an invaluable How to do it Guide to biopesticides, and on the current technology of bacterial biopesticides.

The study is divided into regions for market analysis and company profiles - including both manufacturers and distributors.

The "How to do it Guide" draws on 30 years of experience to point you in the right direction commercially.

The 1st edition of this study was published in January 1987. Since then, dozens of companies around the world have benefited from the information and insights it provides into the business of biopesticides.

The editor of this study, Steve Lisansky, CEO of CPL Business Consultants, has been involved in biopesticides since 1977 including years spent in developing and commercialising them and more years spent writing about and consulting on biopesticides.

"Volume 8: The Biopesticides Companies of Europe" is a 118 page report on the 167 companies based in Europe.
