Biopesticides: From Biological Control to Sustainable Crop Protection provides a comprehensive overview of the scientific principles, technological advances, and practical applications of biological pest management. The book explores the evolution of biopesticides, the diversity of microbial and natural biocontrol agents, and their mechanisms of action in plant-microbe-insect interactions. It further examines the discovery, screening, formulation, production, and commercialization of biopesticide products, highlighting regulatory frameworks and emerging innovations such as artificial intelligence, nanotechnology, synthetic biology, and precision agriculture. Integrating recent scientific evidence with practical perspectives, this book serves as a valuable resource for researchers, graduate students, agronomists, microbiologists, and professionals seeking sustainable alternatives to conventional chemical pesticides for environmentally responsible crop protection.
