TY - JOUR T1 - Biopesticide: An Approach Towards Pest Management for Maintaining a Healthy Lifestyle A1 - Archana Patidar A1 - Rizwan Khan JF - International Journal of Pharmaceutical And Phytopharmacological Research JO - Int J Pharm Phytopharmacol Res SN - 2250-1029 Y1 - 2023 VL - 13 IS - 4 DO - 10.51847/v1LPz3uOFd SP - 20 EP - 32 N2 - The review comprises the advantages of biopesticides, classification, mode of action and formulation, global and Indian perspectives towards biopesticides. Crop protection by pesticides is the traditional way to control the multiplication of pests. Despite the harmful influences of chemical pesticides on the yield and quality of crops for the management of different kinds of pests on plants, they are still used globally due to the less time of lethality of pests with the association of more harmful implications. To minimize the drawback of synthetic pesticides, the alternative has been developed by researchers that arenaturally derived from a microorganism (bacteria, viruses, fungi), herbal extracts from plants, pest-resistant crop development by genetic modification, and Semiochemicals (Insect pheromones). The alternative is coined "Biopesticide"due to originating from natural sources for the control or mortal effect on pests. Biopesticide has numerous advantages over synthetic pesticides: fewer side effects, minimum chances of resistance development, less environmental hazard, cost-effectiveness, biodegradability, and target specificity.
