Embrace Biopesticides, Cultivate Green Solutions for a Flourishing India!” A review
Main Article Content
Abstract
In agriculture to prevent crops from pests chemical fertilizer has been used
for the longest period of time but the use of chemical fertilizer for the
longest period of time has led to concern regarding human health as well
as the environment. The extensive use of chemical fertilizers in the era of
green revolution has led to pesticide related soil leaching, consumption of
pesticide via bioaccumulation, secondary pest infestation. Biopesticides
provides eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides. Biopesticides are
a type of pesticide derived from natural materials, such as plants, animals,
bacteria, and fungi, which are used to control pests and manage agricultural
or horticultural problems. Unlike conventional chemical pesticides,
biopesticides are considered to be environmentally friendly and generally
have lower toxicity levels to non-target organisms, including humans. The
benefits of using biopesticides include biodegradable, cost effective etc.
The use of biopesticides has increased yield at about 5-10% per year. In
developing country like India remains significantly dependent on
agriculture as a crucial sector of its economy. Agriculture plays a vital role
in the country's social and economic fabric, contributing to employment,
food security, and rural development. In this review we have discussed
regarding current status of biopesticides usage in an Indian scenario
