Microbial biopesticides

Microbial biopesticides are natural products made from beneficial microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, or viruses, that help control pests and diseases in agriculture. Unlike chemical pesticides, which can harm beneficial insects and the environment, these biopesticides target specific pests while being safer for humans, animals, and plants. They work by either killing pests directly, disrupting their life cycles, or enhancing plant defenses. As interest in sustainable farming grows, microbial biopesticides are gaining popularity as an eco-friendly alternative to conventional pesticides, contributing to healthier ecosystems and reducing the reliance on synthetic chemicals in food production.
