The current context of social expectations and public decisions in the EU (Directive 2009/128/CE) resulted in the reduction of the number of authorized conventional phytosanitary products. Moreover both growers and consumers in France and Spain have praised the use of products from natural origin for crop protection. The increase use of biocontrol products is significant (+15%/yr), but data are needed regarding their efficacy and eco-toxicological properties. Catalogne and Roussillon regions constitute a homogeneous unit of agricultural production, mainly specialized in viticulture, fruits and vegetables crops, and have several innovative SMEs that develop biopesticides. Due to economic reasons, biopesticides homologation processes are mainly focused on the field crops; consequently, our regional growers have no solutions for adapted and sustainable protection. PALVIP project brings universities and technical structures together in order to evaluate products developed by SMEs partners. The proposal consists of a global and innovative approach (activity evaluation, mode of action and environmental impact), based on a combination of conventional and "omic" approaches, in order to: 1) characterize biocontrol products adapted to Mediterranean crops, 2) advice growers about the proper use of these products, 3) and thus promote the economic development of two promising sectors in the area: the industry of biocontrol products and the sustainable agriculture.
