Abstract
Crop protection has depended significantly on synthetic chemical pesticides for the last 60 years. Inadequate use of broad-spectrum chemical pesticides to improve agricultural productivity has resulted in a number of negative consequences, including the development of resistance in target pests, the killing of beneficial organisms, the presence of harmful residues in food, feed, and fodder, and a hazardous impact on human health. The growing public awareness about the possible negative effects of synthetic agrochemicals encourages a quest for technology and products that are less harmful to the environment. As a result, different eco-friendly pest management strategies are required. Pest management agents based on live microorganisms or natural items are known as bio-pesticides. They have demonstrated pest management capability and are utilised all around the world. Bio-pesticides are formulations derived from naturally occurring compounds that control pests through non-toxic and environmentally acceptable techniques. The use of bio-pesticides has the potential to significantly assist agricultural and public health initiatives.
