Abstract

Biopesticides are the biological agents used to control the pest population. It includes the use of botanicals, microbial pathogens such as fungi, bacteria, viruses and natural enemies of pests such as parasitoids and predators, nematodes and semiochemicals. Biopesticides play an important role in sustainability of agricultural bioeconomy. The ecosystem benefits rendered by the agriculturally important biological resources warrant inclusion of biopesticides in Integrated Pest Management Programmes. This chapter elaborates different types of biopesticides, their mode of action, formulations available, successful proven biological agents used in the suppression of pests, advantages and disadvantages of each method.
