Biopesticides

Biopesticides are environmentally friendly pest control solutions derived from natural sources such as beneficial microbes, plant extracts, or minerals. They offer a safer alternative to chemical pesticides by precisely targeting pests while remaining non-toxic to humans, pollinators, and beneficial insects. Key advantages include low environmental impact, minimal crop residue (ideal for export and organic markets), compatibility with integrated pest management (IPM) programs, and a reduced risk of pest resistance. By promoting healthier crops, cleaner food, and long-term farm productivity, biopesticides play a vital role in supporting sustainable agriculture.

Biostimulants

Biostimulants are products that stimulate plant nutrition processes independently of the product’s nutrient content, to improve one or more of the following characteristics of the plant or its rhizosphere: nutrient use efficiency, tolerance to abiotic stress, quality traits, or availability of nutrients in the soil or rhizosphere. They include substances or microorganisms such as humic acids, seaweed extracts, protein hydrolysates, and beneficial fungi or bacteria. Biostimulants support sustainable agriculture by enhancing plant vigor, root development, and resilience to environmental stresses like drought or salinity, ultimately leading to healthier crops and improved yield quality, without directly acting against pests or diseases.
