BIO PESTICIDES

Biopesticides: The chemical pesticides used in crop protection, to reduce the damage caused by pathogens and pests in agricultural fields, pose many long-term threats and risks to living beings due to their harmful side effects. They are known to cause cancers and foetal impairments and also they persist in the environment for many years. Nowadays, as an alternative to chemical pesticides, there are different types of biopesticides that have been developed by various organizations from different sources. Biopesticides are natural, biologically occurring compounds that are used to control various agricultural pests infesting plants in forests, gardens, farmlands, etc.
