Biopesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from such natural materials as animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. Biopesticides are currently used to manage invertebrate pests, weeds, and plant pathogens. The microorganisms used include yeasts, bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Most known compounds used as biopesticide are rotenone, phyretrins, azadirachtin, & nicotine derived from species of Derris, Tanacetum, Azadirachta, & Nicotiana respectively. Many other plants are used for this purpose.

According to Coherent Market Insights the Biopesticides Market Size, Share, Outlook, and Opportunity Analysis, 2022-2028.

Biopesticides include naturally occurring substances that control microorganisms that control pests (microbial pesticides), pests (biochemical pesticides), and pesticidal substances produced by plants containing added genetic material (plant-incorporated protectants). They produce little toxic residue, and are of minimal risk to human health in addition to controlling pests and diseases. Some biopesticides have a zero or low re-entry and handling interval. When used correctly, biopesticides offer an effective and sustainable alternative to toxic chemicals.

Biopesticides are preferred over chemical pesticides as they do not contaminate environment. The chemicals in chemical pesticides are extremely toxic and harmful to the environment. Not only this, but they are also harmful to animals and humans if they ingest such crops. Whereas biopesticides are safe, non-toxic to users, decompose naturally, and can be targeted at specific pests to avoid harming beneficial insects. They can be used as alternative to synthetic pesticides that are highly effective, target specific, and reduce environmental risks.

Almost all biopesticides are approved for organic production, and most products approved for organic production are biopesticides. However, some formulations are not approved. That can be due to inerts. The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is committed to encouraging the development and use of biopesticides and considers them inherently reduced-risk pesticides. However, biopesticides are required to be evaluated by the EPA; based on their chemistry, toxicology and product performance using guidelines established under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).
