Abstract:
In terms of demographics, agriculture is the largest economic sector in India. However, current farming practices are neither economically nor environmentally viable. The pests become a significant problem for both the quality and quantity of fruit and vegetable output. A variety of pests reduce agricultural output. To control them, farmers traditionally used chemical insecticides in varied quantities. Synthetic pesticides shouldn't be used recklessly because they reduce the numbers of natural foes, because environmental contamination, increase insect resistance, and—most importantly—have negative impacts on organisms that aren't their intended targets. In order to control a variety of agricultural pests, biopesticides are organic, naturally occurring compounds that are sprayed to plants in forests, gardens, farms, etc. Botanical pesticides are increasingly acknowledged as an essential component of IPM techniques in all crops because of their efficiency against insect pests. They typically require very low doses to be effective, and they frequently break down quickly, leading to lower exposures and thus avoiding the pollution problems. Additionally, they are made to target a single pest or, in some cases, a limited group of target species.
