Abstract

Agriculture entails the cultivation of plants and animals for food, biofuel, and different products for human well-being. Principally, plant protection, interference, and wipe-out against disease strategies use pesticides, majority synthesized from chemicals. The effects of utilizing chemical pesticides resulted in the evolution of pesticide-resistant pests, decreased soil diversity and increased pollution. The effect led to the development of an effective eco-friendly method required to provide plants with protection against plant pathogens and better biological management, commonly referred to as biological pesticides (biopesticides). This paper analyses the significance of biopesticides application on environmental and human health, their limitations and mechanism of action. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
