Biopesticides

Biopesticides are natural pest control agents derived from plants, animals, or microorganisms. Unlike traditional pesticides, which can be synthetic and harsh, biopesticides offer a more environmentally friendly approach to managing pests. They work by targeting specific pests or diseases without harming beneficial organisms, such as bees or earthworms. Common examples include substances extracted from certain fungi or bacteria that can inhibit harmful insects. Biopesticides contribute to sustainable agriculture, promoting healthier ecosystems while effectively protecting crops from pests.
