Overview

Review highlights the efficacy and market potential of microbial biopesticides in crop protection, indicating their role in reducing chemical pesticide dependency for sustainable agriculture.

Key Points

  • Synthesize current evidence on the biological sources, mechanisms of action, formulations, and commercial viability of microbial biocontrol agents for sustainable agricultural pest management.
  • Assessed biological sources, modes of action, and commercial formulation techniques for microbial biopesticides derived from bacteria, fungi, and viruses.
  • Evaluated target pest bio-efficacy, crop growth-promoting benefits, and commercial market integration within sustainable pest management systems.
  • Microbial biocontrol agents exhibit high bio-efficacy and host specificity against agricultural pests without displaying pathogenicity toward non-target organisms.
  • Formulated microbial agents actively stimulate crop growth while serving as viable, commercially scalable alternatives to reduce synthetic chemical pesticide applications.
