Biotecnología aplicada a bioinsumos y salud del ecosistema

In this presentation, Eduardo Tapia Rodríguez, a researcher at the Plant Protection Unit, addresses the development of bio-inputs, biopesticides, biostimulants, and probiotics for animals from a One Health perspective, integrating human, animal, and ecosystem health. The video delves into the potential of microorganisms for the biological control of pests and diseases, the production of bio-inputs, laboratory scaling, microorganism formulation, current regulations in Chile, and the opportunities that exist to advance toward more sustainable agricultural and livestock systems. Key topics are also reviewed, such as the probiotic and biopesticide market, regulations related to animal feed, the role of the Chilean Agricultural and Livestock Service (SAG), the use of beneficial microorganisms, production in bioreactors, integrated pest management, and the potential of probiotics in animal feed. This presentation is especially useful for researchers, agricultural professionals, extension agents, students, biotechnology companies, and stakeholders involved in agricultural and livestock innovation.
