New environmental and health requirements are forcing the farming community to adjust its practices regarding the use of chemical pesticides. The SMARTBIOCONTROL portfolio proposes an alternative by developing and marketing new "organic" phytosanitary products made from micro-organisms. These biocontrol agents exert less disruption on ecosystems by having a very targeted action on a type of pathogen and a limited persistence. Consequently, their use requires means to specifically identify pathogens present, even before the appearance of the first visual signs on crops. What's more, seeing as their action is variable in line with environmental conditions and limited in time, field monitoring of their biological activity is necessary. Such tools are currently being developed as a new generation of biochips under the BIOSENS project, which draws on a cross-border team of microbiologists, physicists and micro-technology specialists. The design of these biochips relies on the combination of molecular characterisation methods, based on DNA recognition or protein markers, with the phenomenon of surface plasmonic resonance. The advantages of this technique lie in the speed of the analysis, its very high sensitivity and the flexibility of the system that can be specifically adapted to a target. (English)
