“…Biopesticides are competitive subclass of pesticides that are naturally occurring organisms or compounds that suppress the growth and proliferation of pests' population by diverse mechanisms of action, excluding those that interfere with pests' nervous systems (Tijjani et al, 2016;Marrone, 2019;Nuruzzaman et al, 2019;Wattimena and Latumahina, 2021). They are categorized into three groups: microbial biopesticides, biochemical biopesticides, and PIPs (Leahy et al, 2014;Liu et al, 2019;Ram and Singh, 2021). Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt) control 90% of the microbial biopesticide market; however, Beauveria bassiana, Baculovirus, Steinernema, Nosema, and Chlorella have also demonstrated significant roles (Steinkraus and Tugwell, 1997;Abu-Dieyeh and Watson, 2007;Radwan et al, 2018;Gonçalves, 2021).…”

“…Most bacterial BCAs are of the genus Bacillus, with Bacillus thuringiensis being the most widely used bacterial biocontrol agent against common fungal pathogens and insects. Its derivatives are found in over 70% of bacterial biopesticides (Melo et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2019). Agrobacterium, Arthrobacter, Burkholderia, Azotobacter, Rhizobium, Serratia, Thiobacillus, and Pseudomonas are other bacteria genera with antibiotic attributes in-vitro and in-vivo (Saxena et al, 2000;Raaijmakers et al, 2002).…”

“…Other than parasitism, most BCAs also suppress pathogens directly through the production of antibiotic compounds that impede the proliferation of the target pathogens. Bassiacridin and beauvericin produced by Beauveria have insecticidal property against entomopathogens (McGuire and Northfield, 2020); bioactive lipopeptides produced by Bacillus subtilis necrotizes insect epithelial cells causing death (Melo et al, 2016;Liu et al, 2019). Microbial antagonists also suppress pathogens through indirect mechanisms, notably through competition and induced systemic resistance (Heil and Bostock, 2002).…”

Smallholder agroecosystems play a key role in the world's food security providing more than 50% of the food produced globally. These unique agroecosystems face a myriad of challenges and remain largely unsupported, yet they are thought to be a critical resource for feeding the projected increasing human population in the coming years. The new challenge to increase food production through agricultural intensification in shrinking per capita arable lands, dwindling world economies, and unpredictable climate change, has led to over-dependence on agrochemical inputs that are often costly and hazardous to both human and animal health and the environment. To ensure healthy crop production approaches, the search for alternative ecofriendly strategies that best fit to the smallholder systems have been proposed. The most common and widely accepted solution that has gained a lot of interest among researchers and smallholder farmers is the use of biological agents; mainly plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) that provide essential agroecosystem services within a holistic vision of enhancing farm productivity and environmental protection. PGPMs play critical roles in agroecological cycles fundamental for soil nutrient amelioration, crop nutrient improvement, plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, biocontrol of pests and diseases, and water uptake. This review explores different research strategies involving the use of beneficial microorganisms, within the unique context of smallholder agroecosystems, to promote sustainable maintenance of plant and soil health and enhance agroecosystem resilience against unpredictable climatic perturbations.

“…In fungal or bacterial sources, the mechanism of action can be also based on competition for space and nutrients on the surface of the host. Another main mode of action is by directly parasitizing the target pest [ 12 , 14 ]. In 2018, biopesticides comprised a small share of the total crop protection market globally, with a value of about USD 3 billion worldwide, accounting for just 5% of the total crop protection market [ 15 ].…”

Biopesticide Encapsulation Using Supercritical CO2: A Comprehensive Review and Potential Applications

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

As an alternative to synthetic pesticides, natural chemistries from living organisms, are not harmful to nontarget organisms and the environment, can be used as biopesticides, nontarget. However, to reduce the reactivity of active ingredients, avoid undesired reactions, protect from physical stress, and control or lower the release rate, encapsulation processes can be applied to biopesticides. In this review, the advantages and disadvantages of the most common encapsulation processes for biopesticides are discussed. The use of supercritical fluid technology (SFT), mainly carbon dioxide (CO2), to encapsulate biopesticides is highlighted, as they reduce the use of organic solvents, have simpler separation processes, and achieve high-purity particles. This review also presents challenges to be surpassed and the lack of application of SFT for biopesticides in the published literature is discussed to evaluate its potential and prospects.
