One of the most dreadful components rich active substances which kills pests and insects is known as pesticide. Pesticides are specifically used as a killing substance to eradicate the organisms which poses threat to agricultural crops and other plant species. But on the other hand, they have negative impacts on human health and environment such as loss of soil fertility, water clogging and physiological issues that might cause major physiological problems in human beings also. In order to formulate an alternative to prevent the use of pesticide, biopesticides have been introduced. They are mainly aimed to destruct the insects and pest habitation on food crops thereby limiting the issues that were formerly discussed. Biopesticides have been classified based on microbial, plant and biochemical types. So indeed, every country needs to implement the use of biopesticides as a healthier and greater alternative to achieve a sustainable and eco-friendly global diversity.

Pesticides, biopesticides, insects, human health, soil fertility, water clogging.
