Bacillus subtills is a Gram-positive, rod-shaped, aerobic, non-pathogenic bacterium that synthesizes resilient endospores. Due to the capability of forming spores, organism has ecological versatility allows thrive in distinct environments such as soil, rhizospheric zones plants, and even gastrointestinal tracts animals. It widely known plant growth-promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) enhances plants’ growth by producing various primary secondary metabolites phytohormones, volatile organic compounds (VOC), enzymes (exo), biosurfactants, siderophores, solubilizing phosphate, fixing nitrogen. The bacterium’s utility agriculture further supported formulation delivery methods, enhancing its effectiveness biopesticide biofertilizer. Additionally, B. subtilis contributes soil health sustainability protective biofilms generating antimicrobial compounds, which suppress progression deleterious microorganisms. Metabolites also degrade remediates heavy metals hydrocarbons aids maintaining environment. Despite wide-ranging values, challenges are still there terms usage optimization. Future perspectives highly required would enhance all beneficial traits integrate into integrated pest management (IPM) systems potential pollutant remediator promote sustainable agricultural environmental practices, documented ‑chapter.

The broader use of botanical pesticides has been limited by shorter residual activity on plants, slower onset action, and higher costs compared with conventional pesticides. These challenges could be overcome the development simple, cost-effective, long-lasting preventive nanocomposites for In this study, we successfully developed a low-cost ethyl cellulose (EC)-based delivery system pesticide osthole (OST), designed to provide extended protection against Tetranychus urticae infestations. A comparative analysis three (graphene oxide (GO)-OST, EC-OST, chitosan (CS)-OST) revealed that EC-OST exhibited superior thermal stability, UV resistance, controlled release OST payload, strong acaricidal activity. degradation leaf surfaces was reduced encapsulation in EC, while its penetration into plant tissues improved. When applied leaves, an increase T. mortality, reduction reproduction egg adhesion, impairment feeding behavior through searching times were observed. peak occurrence infestation delayed 10 days following application reducing damage protecting plants more than 20 days. This nanoinsecticide allows low-frequency application, farmers' production costs, increasing profitability, thereby offering great potential promoting protection.

Locusts, among the world's most destructive migratory pests, threaten food security by devastating crops and pastures. Conventional chemical insecticides pose environmental health risks, highlighting need for sustainable alternatives. We demonstrate efficacy of nickel ferrite (NiFe2O4) nanoparticles (36 ± 10 nm), as a safe, cost-effective insecticide locust management. These NiFe2O4 disrupt development impairing blastokinesis growth, thus resulting in malformed nymphs with compacted abdomens disorganised body structures - primarily arising from significantly lower heart rates (30 bpm control vs. 20 embryos exposed to NiFe2O4) changes end-diastolic end-systolic dimensions. Adult locusts retained ingested their coelomic cavities, which could potentially be used traceable markers swarm tracking. Additionally, were recoverable soil over 90% efficiency, minimising potential ecological impact. Our research therefore offers an innovative nanotechnology-based solution effective
