Now a days , use of natural products was overtaken by synthetic chemicals due to their efficacy, reliability and quick knock down effect. However, synthetic pesticides have become a health hazards for humans and environment due to their toxicity and pollution. Biopesticides are derivatives of plants, microorganisms and insects. Bio pesticides are potential alternatives to synthetic pesticides. Sources of bio pesticides are readily available, easily biodegradable, exhibit various modes of action, are less expensive and have low toxicity to humans and non-target organisms. Many Bio pesticides for e.g. Neem , pyrethrum, cotton and tobacco a have already been used commercially for long time. Bio pesticides are however faced with challenges of formulation, registration, commercialization, acceptance and adoption. This paper describes several aspects of bio pesticide -what is bio pesticides , types of bio pesticides , microorganisms as a source of bio pesticides , Production, Formulation and Commercialization of Bio pesticides , limitations etc.
