Abstract
Pesticides are substances intended for the prevention, destruction, suppression or reduction of pests. The continuous application of pesticides has led to the development of resistance in plant and animal species and the transfer of microelements through treated plants to the bodies of humans and animals. This can lead to chronic and acute diseases, and even toxic poisoning. In order to avoid the negative impact of pesticides on plant and animal life and to prevent environmental pollution, researchers suggest the use of biopesticides. Biopesticides are an environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic pesticides. They are obtained from natural materials such as microorganisms (fungi, bacteria, viruses, etc.), plants (extracts from plants) and the animal world (nematodes) and some minerals. This paper provides an overview of scientific research on the use of biopesticides instead of pesticides in order to reduce environmental pollution.
