Pesticide use in crops is a severe problem some countries. Each country has its legislation for use, but they differ the degree of tolerance these broadly toxic products. Several synthetic pesticides can cause air, soil, and water pollution, contaminating human food chain other living beings. In addition, them accumulate environment an indeterminate amount time. The agriculture sector must guarantee healthy with sustainable production using environmentally friendly methods. this context, biological biopesticides from microbes plants are growing green solution segment. pests attack worldwide, including weeds, insects, nematodes, microorganisms such as fungi, bacteria, viruses, causing diseases economic losses. bioproducts microorganisms, microbial (MBPs) or alone, practice due to intense research world. Mainly, baculoviruses have been used sources biomolecules secondary metabolites biopesticide use. Different methods, direct soil application, spraying techniques endotherapy, seed treatment, used. Adjuvants like surfactants, protective agents, carriers improve system different formulations. tool bioremediation environment. This review summarizes topics, focusing on origin.

Abstract The historical perspective on the rapid biodegradation of pesticides as a mitigating factor in environmental risk assessment is reexamined through example glyphosate and its implications for freshwater biodiversity. Commonly employed standardized methods by national agencies assessing predominantly rely single-species tests, overlooking intricate nature ecosystems. Glyphosate, one most widely used marketed purported biodegradability, often perceived relatively innocuous. However, degradation releases phosphorus into environment, inducing trophic state shift water systems towards more eutrophic conditions, consequently affecting quality. These findings highlight cascading ecological repercussions biodegradation, driving proliferation specific aquatic organisms, such picocyanobacteria metaphyton, resulting alteration ecosystem structure dynamics. study explores challenges posed commercial pesticide formulations investigates consequences interactions with anthropogenic factors.
