The biopesticide market is a subset of the agricultural industry that focuses on the use of natural materials to control pests. These materials are derived from plants, animals, bacteria, and other natural sources, and are used to reduce the need for chemical pesticides. Biopesticides are often used in integrated pest management systems, which combine multiple methods of pest control to reduce the risk of pest resistance. Biopesticides are becoming increasingly popular due to their environmental benefits, such as reduced risk of water contamination and reduced risk of harm to beneficial insects. They are also often more cost-effective than chemical pesticides, and can be used in organic farming. Some companies in the biopesticide market include Marrone Bio Innovations, Certis USA, and Valent BioSciences. Show Less Read more
