Biopesticides are natural, biologically occurring compounds that used to control various agricultural pests infesting plants in forests, gardens, farmlands, etc. There different types of biopesticides have been developed from sources. This paper underscores the utility biocontrol agents composed microorganisms including bacteria, cyanobacteria, and microalgae, plant-based compounds, recently applied RNAi-based technology. These techniques described suggestions made for their application modern practices managing crop yield losses due pest infestation. several advantages over chemical counterparts expected occupy a large share market coming period.

Drosophila suzukii (Diptera: Drosophilidae): A Decade of Research Towards a Sustainable Integrated Pest Management Program

Journal of Economic Entomology, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 114(5), P. 1950 - 1974

Published: July 26, 2021

Drosophila suzukii (Matsumura) (Diptera: Drosophilidae) also known as spotted-wing drosophila (SWD), is a pest native to Southeast Asia. In the last few decades, has expanded its range affect all major European and American fruit production regions. SWD highly adaptive insect that able disperse, survive, flourish under of environmental conditions. Infestation by generates both direct indirect economic impacts through yield losses, shorter shelf life infested fruit, increased costs. Fresh markets, frozen berries, export programs have been impacted due zero tolerance for infestation. As control rely heavily on insecticides, exceedance maximum residue levels (MRLs) resulted in crop rejections. The impact particularly severe organic operations, mainly limited availability effective insecticides. Integrated management (IPM) could significantly reduce chemical inputs but would require substantial changes horticultural practices. This review evaluates most promising methods studied part an IPM strategy against across world. For each considered techniques, effectiveness, impact, sustainability, stage development are discussed.

Biofertilizers and Biocontrol Agents for Agriculture: How to Identify and Develop New Potent Microbial Strains and Traits

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 9(4), P. 817 - 817

Published: April 13, 2021

Microbiological tools, biofertilizers, and biocontrol agents, which are bacteria fungi capable of providing beneficial outcomes in crop plant growth health, have been developed for several decades. Currently we a selection strains available as products agriculture, predominantly based on plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), soil, epiphytic, mycorrhizal fungi, each having specific challenges their production use, with the main one being inconsistency field performance. With growing global concern about pollution, greenhouse gas accumulation, increased need plant-based foods, demand biofertilizers agents is expected to grow. What prospects finding solutions existing tools? The inconsistent performance could be overcome by using combinations different types microbial strains, consisting various members full microbiome. However, thorough understanding microbiological tool, communities, mechanisms action must precede product development.

Nanomaterials as Nanofertilizers and Nanopesticides: An Overview

ChemistrySelect, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 6(33), P. 8645 - 8663

Published: Sept. 1, 2021

Abstract Nanotechnology has acquired increasing interest recently in agriculture and crop production for achieving proficient utilization of resources by developing nanodelivery systems agrochemical products or sensors (for nutrient status water). The development new nanofertilizers provides a promising opportunity to improve plant mineral nutrition. According the reports, nanostructured materials are more efficient than traditional fertilizers, with site‐specific controlled release nutrients that not only increased efficacy uptake but also reduced negative environmental effects due loss into matrices. In this section, we illustrate various kinds novel as carriers such nanoclays, carbon nanodots, nanotubes, nanofibers, hydroxyapatite nanoparticles, carbon‐based nanomaterials, polymeric nanoparticles. Also, impact nanomaterials on pesticides is discussed. They play great contribution enhancing agricultural productivity involving gradual proper pesticide dosage aid pest control.

Pesticide use negatively affects bumble bees across European landscapes

Abstract Sustainable agriculture requires balancing crop yields with the effects of pesticides on non-target organisms, such as bees and other pollinators. Field studies demonstrated that agricultural use neonicotinoid insecticides can negatively affect wild bee species 1,2 , leading to restrictions these compounds 3 . However, besides neonicotinoids, field-based evidence landscape pesticide exposure is lacking. Bees encounter many in landscapes 4–9 this colony growth development any remains unknown. Here we show found bumble bee-collected pollen are associated reduced performance during bloom, especially simplified intensive practices.

Ecological traits interact with landscape context to determine bees’ pesticide risk

Nature Ecology & Evolution, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 7(4), P. 547 - 556

Widespread contamination of ecosystems with pesticides threatens non-target organisms. However, the extent to which life-history traits affect pesticide exposure and resulting risk in different landscape contexts remains poorly understood. We address this for bees across an agricultural land-use gradient based on assays pollen nectar collected by Apis mellifera, Bombus terrestris Osmia bicornis, representing extensive, intermediate limited foraging traits. found that extensive foragers (A. mellifera) experienced highest risk-additive toxicity-weighted concentrations. only (B. terrestris) (O. bicornis) responded context-experiencing lower less land.

Bees are essential pollinators of many crops and wild plants, pesticide exposure is one the key environmental stressors affecting their health in anthropogenically modified landscapes. Until recently, almost all information on routes impacts came from honey bees, at least partially because they were only model species required for risk assessments (ERAs) insect pollinators. Recently, there has been a surge research activity focusing effects non- Apis including other social bees (bumble stingless bees) solitary bees. These taxa vary substantially another several important ecological traits, spatial temporal patterns, foraging nesting requirements, degree sociality. In this article, we review current evidence base about pathways consequences We find that insights into bee resulting across biological organizations, landscapes, mixtures, multiple still infancy. The good news promising approaches could be used to advance our understanding, with priority given informing pathways, extrapolating effects, determining how well (limited very few mostly neonicotinoid insecticides under unrealistic conditions) can generalized diversity lifestyles global community. conclude future expand knowledge would also beneficial ERAs wider policy decisions concerning pollinator conservation regulation.
