INTRODUCTION
- Biopesticides are safer than conventional pesticides, which are often hazardous chemicals.
- Biopesticides offer much more targeted activity to the desired pests, whereas conventional pesticides often affect a broad spectrum of pests as well as birds and mammalian species.
- Biopesticides often are effective in very small quantities, thereby offering lower exposure. They decompose quickly, leaving virtually no harmful residue and allowing field re-entry almost immediately after application.
- Biopesticides can be used in rotation with conventional pesticides when used in Integrated Pest Management (IPM) programs. Such programs can offer high crop yields while dramatically reducing the use of conventional pesticides.
