A biopesticide is a biological substance or microorganism that is used to control pests. Invertebrates and macroorganisms used to control pests are usually categorised as biological pest control agents.
Biopesticides are traditionally obtained through bioprospecting from organisms including plants, microorganisms, etc. They are components of integrated pest management programmes, and are used as substitutes for synthetic pesticides.
