biopesticides
Biopesticides are biological control agents—including microorganisms, invertebrates, and natural substances—that target agricultural and horticultural pests without relying on synthetic chemicals. In plant science, biopesticides offer a sustainable approach to crop protection by reducing chemical inputs while maintaining yield and plant health. This approach is particularly significant as researchers seek environmentally compatible methods to manage pest populations while supporting ecosystem health and addressing concerns about pesticide resistance and long-term soil impacts.
