Abstract :

Growing public awareness of the possible harm that chemical inputs in agricultural production systems may cause has put pressure on business to create innovative and efficient methods of managing and controlling weeds, diseases, and insect pests. These new approaches must protect the health of agricultural workers and consumers while also being less detrimental to the environment than the present, chemical-based ones. The active ingredients of bio-pesticides are made from microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungus, nematodes, or naturally occurring materials like plant extracts and semi-chemicals. Certain natural materials are chemical pesticides if they affect the pest's nervous system; not all natural products are biopesticides. Products must be applied at the proper site of action in a timely, efficient, cost-effective, and simple manner .This review covered the comprehensive detail of biopesticides, their modes of action, formulation techniques, current developments in biopesticides that have mostly focused on improving their action spectra in order to replace chemical pesticides, and, lastly, the future features of biopesticides.
