Horticulture is the branch of plant agriculture that concerns fruits, vegetables and ornamental plants. Horticulture is divided into two categories: the cultivation of food plants and ornamental plants. Biocontrol (BC) methods are at the heart of the changes in practice that are taking place in European horticulture. The ornamental horticulture sector took an early interest in BC methods because of their specific characteristics. Plants are often facing various abiotic and biotic stresses that impact their growth. The activation of defense mechanisms at the expense of growth is known as the growth–defense trade-off concept. Farmers play a dual role both as users of BC products and developers of new production methods, which leads them to face various economic trade-offs related to eco-innovation. Environmental regulation is a key driver of eco-innovation, through a regulatory push/pull effect.Read less <
