Biopesticides have frequently been the focus of attention on a global scale as a safer alternative to chemical pest control that may provide less damage to both humans and the environment. The usage of biopesticides is rising rapidly worldwide, at 10 percent a year. With the idea of limited application for the most significant impact, nanotechnology has produced novel tools for pest management in agriculture, including nanopesticides and nanosensors. In contrast to conventional chemical pesticides, nanopesticides are formulations of a pesticide’s active component in nanoform that have delayed degradation, targeted distribution, and controlled release of the active ingredient over longer periods. In accordance with lots of studies, incorporating certain biological agents in nanoparticulate systems increases their effectiveness against pests while lowering losses resulting from physical deterioration. The development and evaluation of nanobiopesticides have been the subject of laboratory-only research to date using techniques like the creation of nanocomposites, nanoengineered biopesticides, coating nanoparticles with bio-pesticides, etc. The formulation of appropriate, globally acceptable bio-safety and registration requirements is necessary to enable the effective use of these formulations for pest management at the field level.
