Biopesticides and its Ayurvedic Approach: A Review
Keywords:
Biopesticides, Chemical pesticides, Micro-organisms, Nanoparticles, TechnologiesAbstract
Agricultural crops have to face lots of destruction due to invasion of micro-organisms, which can be bacteria, fungi, viruses, or pests. These invasions lead to a decrease in yield. Chemical pesticides used to control these destructions are quite effective but simultaneously responsible for severe health problems to mankind and other biodiversities. Biopesticides along with Ayurveda are potential tools used to overcome both of the above problems. Using advanced technologies (nanoparticles, extract preparations) along with Ayurvedic drugs (single or in combination) can replace these chemical pesticides efficiently, playing their integrated role in micro-organisms and pest management.
