<p>Defra does not fund research into the development of individual insecticides; this
would fall to the agrochemical sector. A number of public bodies fund broader research
into pest control chemicals, biological controls and cultural methods. This includes
funding from Innovate UK through mechanisms including the Agri-Tech Catalyst, which
helps develop innovative solutions to challenges in crop production. Any Defra research
into alternatives to current chemical pesticides can be found at: <a href="http://randd.defra.gov.uk"
