Bio-Pesticides

Biopesticides are crop protection products made from natural materials such as beneficial microorganisms, plant extracts and naturally occurring substances. They control pests and diseases in a targeted way and leave far less harmful residue on crops, in the soil and in water than many conventional chemicals.

It works best when they are used early, before an infestation spreads. Many contain living organisms, so storage and timing matter. Keep them cool, out of direct sunlight, and use them before the expiry date. Spraying in the early morning or late afternoon gives better results than spraying in strong midday sun. Always follow the label instructions or ask your local agricultural officer.
