Biopesticides are derived from natural materials like animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. Unlike synthetic pesticides, they pose fewer risks to human health and the environment. These eco-friendly alternatives include microbial pesticides (such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses), plant-incorporated protectants (produced by incorporating genetic material into plants), and biochemical pesticides (derived from natural substances). They target specific pests while minimizing harm to beneficial organisms, making them a sustainable option for pest control in agriculture and public health.
