Abstract: | |
From immemorial time, agriculture has been fronting the damage happenings of abundant pests including insects, which is results an essential reduction in crop yield. Pest management approach, method and discipline have experienced over time developments and advancements to minimize environmental impact. For that reason, there is a necessity to progress biopesticides, which are efficient, ecofriendly and do not consent any destructive consequence on atmosphere. This review exemplifies some of selected illustrations of case studies on the current deployment of biopesticides in pest management package. Biopesticides are contraction of biological pesticides, which include several types of pest management interventions through predatory, parasitic, or chemical relationships. The term biopesticides has been historically associated with biological control by implication and the manipulation of living organisms. But, regulatory positions can be influenced by public perceptions wherein biopesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria and certain minerals. Frequently, biopesticides have no harmful residues detected, can be cheaper than chemical pesticides when locally produced and may be more effective than chemical pesticides in the long-term and are biodegradable. Three major classes of biopesticides are available such as microbial pesticides consisting of entomopathogenic bacteria (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis), fungi (e.g., Trichoderma spp.), or viruses (e.g., Baculovirus) including their metabolites sometimes, entomopathogenic nematodes and protozoa. Bioal pesticides i.e., herbal pesticides (intrinsic unique and diverse array of chemical complex structure in different plant species) provide efficient protection from the pests and microbial diseases, and plant incorporated protectants (i.e., genetically modified crops like transgenic Bt cotton) though their use as food items is debatable. Biopesticides can be applied through introductions, augmentative releases, inundatively, or through conserving existing field populations of natural pest control agents. Optimistically, further sensible tactic can be progressively implemented towards biopesticides in the nearby upcoming time and temporary incomes from chemical pesticides should not limit the destiny of biopesticides. Biopesticides can be used as part of an overall integrated pest management suite to reduce the legal, environmental and public safety hazards of chemical residues, and inexpensive alternative to some insecticides. |
