ABSTRACT
The increasing demand for sustainable agriculture has propelled biopesticides as promising alternatives to synthetic pesticides, especially when integrated within Integrated Pest Management (IPM) frameworks. This review synthesizes current knowledge on biopesticideS derived from natural sources such as microbes, plants, and biological nanoparticles and their role in IPM for effective pest control. Biopesticides offer specificity, environmental safety, and reduced pest resistance compared to chemical pesticides. The review covers the biology and ecology of pest insects, economic impacts of pest damage, management strategies emphasizing biopesticides within IPM, recent advances including genetic tools and novel formulations, and challenges such as resistance development and regulatory hurdles. Future directions highlight research gaps, interdisciplinary approaches, and innovations to enhance biopesticide efficacy and adoption. Keywords: Biopesticides, Integrated Pest Management, Sustainable Agriculture, Pest Control, Microbial Biopesticides, Resistance Management, Eco-friendly Pest Management.
