Abstract
Biopesticides are the formulated form of active ingredients based on
microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes or
naturally-occurring substances, including plant extracts and semiochemicals
(e.g. insect pheromones). Application of biopesticides is still limited to
only a few percent of all pesticides used for crop protection. There are many
factors contributing to that situation, such as expensive production methods,
poor storage stability, susceptibility to environmental conditions, efficacy
problems, etc. Some of these problems can be overcome by formulation
improvements. With many pressures on product performance formulation is
becoming the most important area to enhance and extend the activity of
biopesticides. In this paper we reviewed different types of biopesticides
existing on the market and discussed possibilities for their application and
current status. The expected future trends in formulation development of
biopesticides are explained.
