Abstract

The misuse and overuse of synthetic pesticides have led to the vast destruction of beneficial organisms along with detrimental effects on environment. The use of biopesticides including microbial agents, biochemical pesticides, and botanicals is considered as a more convincing strategy for the management and control of various insect pests. The biochemical pesticides and the botanicals possess pesticidal as well as repellent properties and have come up as better substitutes to synthetics as they are eco-friendly with target specificity and biodegradability and are economically feasible. The chapter provides information on the different types of the biological product-based pesticide formulations for the control of mosquitoes and other disease vectors.
