Introduction to Biopesticides A Sustainable Approach to Pest Control
What are the bio pesticide Bio-pesticides are natural substances derived from microorganisms, plants, or minerals that help control pests in an eco-friendly way. ? Why are they important? ✅ Reduce chemical pollution ✅ Preserve soil health ✅ Target specific pests without harming beneficial insects
Types of Bio-Pesticides ? Microbial Pesticides – Made from bacteria, fungi, or viruses (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)) ? Biochemical Pesticides – Plant-based extracts like neem oil & pheromones ? Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) – Genetically modified crops that produce pest-resistant substances (e.g., Bt Cotton)
Role of Bio-Pesticides in Sustainable Farming ? Helps reduce soil and water contamination ? Encourages organic farming and eco-friendly agriculture ? Prevents pesticide resistance in pests ? Supports biodiversity and healthy crop production
