Bioinsecticides are products that control insects and mites using active ingredients such as microorganisms (bacteria, fungi and viruses), plant extracts, minerals and other naturally-occurring substances. They target insect pests with minimal environmental impact utilizing naturally occurring active ingredients. Bioinsecticides are compatible with integrated pest management (IPM).
How do bioinsecticides work in integrated pest management?
Bioinsecticides act through targeted biological mechanisms, such as disrupting insect feeding, inhibiting development, mating disruption, breaking growth stage cycles or infecting pests with specific microorganisms to name a few of their modes of action. These modes of action help manage pest populations while reducing the risk of resistance and protecting non-target organisms.
What are the main advantages of agricultural bioinsecticides?
Bioinsecticides reduce the environmental impact of pest control, support integrated pest management strategies and help maintain biodiversity. They contribute to a more sustainable agricultural future by lowering chemical input dependency, reducing the risk of pest resistance development and ensuring safer conditions for both farmers and consumers.
