“…Since 2014, the European Union (EU) has enforced a legal obligation to adhere to the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM), as outlined in Directive 2009/128/EC [6,12]. In accordance with IPM guidelines, the utilization of chemical plant protection products should be restricted to the bare minimum, while prioritizing the extensive implementation of non-chemical alternatives [13]. Biological plant protection emerges as one such approach covering control, prevention, and eradication of plant pests through the utilization of biological agents.…”

Biological plant protection is a crucial component of integrated pest management strategies. It is considered a safer alternative to chemical plant protection, with reduced risks to human health and the environment. The significance of biological plant protection has been on the rise, driven by the European Union’s mandate to decrease the reliance on chemical pesticides, the discontinuation of certain chemical active substances, and their limited availability. Microbiological plant protection products find application in organic farming systems. Among these, mycoinsecticides are prominent examples, utilizing insecticidal fungi such as Beauveria bassiana, Cordyceps fumosoroseus, C. farinosa, and Metarhizium anisopliae complex. Due to the high sensitivity of these organisms to unfavorable weather and environmental conditions, their use in the protection of field crops may not bring the desired effect. The enhancement of their efficacy may be accomplished through the use of adjuvants. Adjuvants are substances incorporated into plant protection products, including microbial insecticides, or used alone to enhance their effectiveness. They can play a pivotal role in improving the performance of mycoinsecticides by ensuring better coverage on plant surfaces and increasing the likelihood of successful pest control, thereby contributing to the overall success of biological methods of pest control. Consequently, it becomes imperative to investigate the impact of various adjuvants on the survival and effectiveness of microorganisms. Furthermore, there is no officially approved list of adjuvants for use in organic farming, the use of inadequate adjuvant may result in failure to obtain an organic certificate. The origin of adjuvants determines their classification, which significantly impacts for employment in organic farming practices. Included tables provide a list of adjuvants and additives known to enhance the efficacy of pest and disease control.

The experiment examined the effect of commercially available preparations containing humic substances in comparison with pure humic acids on the growth and germination of spores of entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) of the genus Beauveria in vitro. AmiAGRA, HumiAGRA, AlgoHUM (recommended field dose) and pure humic acids extracted from peat, brown coal and mushroom substrate were added to Sabouraud's culture substrate. Observation of the growth of colonies of the tested species of EPF was carried out every 5 days until day 20, measuring their diameter (mm). In the second stage of the experiment, the culture medium with the addition of preparations and pure humic acids was applied in a thin layer to the surface of glass slides and 0.1 ml of an aqueous solution with spores was introduced. Observation was carried out after 24 and 48 hours, and the results obtained were expressed as percentages of the control. The conducted research showed that on the 20th day of culture (on average), preparations containing humic substances had a stimulating effect, while pure acids slightly limited the growth of colonies of the tested isolates. The growth of the colony of the fungus B. basianna was most strongly stimulated by AmiAGRA, and B. brongniartii by HumiAGRA. The share of germinated spores of the tested isolates after 48 hours of contact with the substrate was higher than after 24 hours. It was found that more spores germinated on substrates with the addition of preparations containing humic substances than on pure humic acids.

Sustainable and organic plant production uses natural products and natural self-regulation processes occurring in the ecosystem. The awareness is growing and the demands of consumers are higher and higher. One solution is to use various methods, as an alternative to pesticides. It is also very important to care for the stored crops after harvesting especially using non-chemical methods. The physical method of plant protection consists in treating the harmful organism with physical factors such as temperature, its same light and radiation, controlled atmosphere, special packaging, pressure, various sounds, ozone, and low-temperature plasma. The availability of effective application techniques opens up new possibilities for the storage of crops in order to maintain their health and quality for a long time. This review focuses on the analysis of physical methods of postharvest protection, especially the latest methods using ozone and low-temperature plasma. As a result, consumers of agricultural crops will be able to consume food free of insects, mycotoxins and pesticide residues.
