Biopesticides Used in the Management of Crop Pests

The recent indiscriminate use of chemical pesticides has had serious consequences, including the development of pesticide resistance in important pests and diseases, the presence of pesticide residues in the food chain, ecological disturbance, and environmental pollution that harms human health. As chemical substitutes, the main bio-pesticides are microorganisms like nematodes, bacteria, viruses, fungi, protozoa, and botanicals. Bio-pesticides are a safe, affordable, and environmentally beneficial substitute for chemical pesticides. They have a lengthy shelf life, decompose readily, and are less harmful to living things. The search for substitutes for widely used chemical pesticides, such as bio-pesticides, has gained momentum in recent years due to increased public awareness of the detrimental effects of pesticides on the environment and food safety. This article examines the current state of some widely used biopesticides and how they are used to control pests
