Abstract

Biopesticides are products formulated from naturally occurring organisms such as fungi,plant and bacteria that are pathogenic or toxic to insect pests. Advantages to these products arethat they have low environmental risk, low risk to non-target organisms including mammalsand beneficial insects, and can help reduce resistance to pesticides when used in an integratedpest management program. Biopesticides were experimented on different vegetable crops fromdifferent farmers, in which it was found that Biopesticides destroys the insects that damage thecrops, also increases the yield. Biopasticidase was used on brinjal, tomato and chili, in whichalong with pest control, the yield of brinjal increased by 8.5%, the yield of tomato by 7.3% andthe yield of chili was increased by 8.08%.
