Biopesticide development focuses on creating natural, eco-friendly pest control solutions for agriculture. Unlike chemical pesticides, biopesticides are derived from natural organisms such as bacteria, fungi, and plants, and they target specific pests without harming beneficial insects, animals, or the environment. These biopesticides are biodegradable, non-toxic, and safe for human consumption, offering a safer alternative to traditional chemicals. The use of biopesticides helps reduce the environmental footprint of farming by minimizing soil and water contamination. They also support organic farming practices, as they meet the growing demand for chemical-free crops. By incorporating biopesticides into pest management, farmers can improve crop health, protect biodiversity, and reduce reliance on synthetic chemicals, contributing to more sustainable agriculture.
