The association sees itself representing the manufacturers of biocontrol products mainly within the European Union, the OECD, and FAO.
In workshops, the experiences of the members is to be exchanged, in particular at the annual ABIM Congress in Basel.
In contrast to the chemical crop protection industry (Agricultural Industry Association) the IBMA members produce Bioeffectors, i.e. botanicals, pheromones, invertebrate biocontrol agents and micro-organisms as a basis for plant protection products.[5] These biocontrol products against plant diseases and pests can be used in the organic production of food as well as in IPM production systems.[citation needed]
A large percentage of IBMA members are Small, Medium Enterprises (SMEs). IBMA Members’ Biocontrol products are used in conventional farming systems in integrated pest management (IPM) when intervention is required.
IBMA is a member of BioProtection Global, a worldwide federation of biocontrol and biopesticides industry associations. [6]
