“…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). Previously, there were several methods applied for handling pests, such as traditional methods, chemical methods and biological methods (Lindsey et al, 2020).…”

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.

“…There are currently 970 biopesticide products registered with the Central Insecticides Board and Registration Committee (CIBRC), which is the key governing organisation in India for all sorts of biopesticide usage Wickramaarachchi et al (2017); Mishra et al (2020); Tripathi et al (2020). Bacterial, fungal, viral, and other (plant-based, pheromones) biopesticides account for 29, 66, 4, and 1 percent of total biopesticide production, respectively Mishra et al (2020).…”

Globally more than half of the pesticides are utilized in Asia. India stands 12th in pesticide use globally and 3rd in Asia after China and Turkey. In present study, the data of different types of pesticides, pesticide use pattern and detailed pesticide consumption of the India and world were collected, organized and summarized. Agriculture is the most important sector of the Indian economy providing employment and livelihood to nearly 70% of the total population. And pesticides are an integral part of modern agriculture. Insecticides, fungicides and herbicides are commonly used for pest control in agriculture. However, insecticides form the highest share in total pesticide use in India. India share only1% of the global pesticide use. India has utilized around 58160 tonnes of pesticide in 2018. Per hectare application rate of pesticide was 0.31 kg in 2017. Despite a low per hectare use of pesticides in India, their injudicious use has led to the presence of residues in both biotic and abiotic sections of the environment. The advance research and development in the field of bio-pesticides applications greatly reduce the environmental pollution caused by the chemical synthetic insecticides residues and promotes sustainable development of agriculture. In India numerous bio-pesticides presently being developed may be exceptional replacements to chemical pesticides. There are many eco-friendly plant based and microbial bio-pesticides available in the market. Bio-pesticides consumption is only 8% in India. For sustainable agricultural development and to protect environment from adverse effect of chemical pesticides, formulation and utilization of bio-pesticides should be prompted.
