“…Current research into biopesticides focuses on the improvement of their action spectra, including mechanisms to replace the use of chemical pesticides in IPM plans (Nawaz et al, 2016). IPM is a method to incorporate chemical, biological and physical methods for pest control (Ghewande and Nandagopal, 1997). The main challenges of new biopesticides in the growth and utilization are how to market or promote it (Tripathi et al, 2020) and how to enhance the stability and residual action of biopesticide (Damalas and Koutroubas, 2018).…”

Biopesticides are living organisms or natural products that control agricultural pests including bacteria, fungi, weeds, viruses and insects. Biopesticides can be classified into different categories, such as microbial pesticides, plant-incorporated protectants and biochemicals. Biopesticides are a crucial component of integrated pest management programs for pest control, which lead to more natural alternatives to chemical pesticides that are eco-friendly and safer. Since the emergence of biopesticides for potential pest management, numerous products have been released and some of them dominate the market. This review paper will discuss the current status, future prospect and challenges associated with the use of biopesticides in pest control.
