Insect Science and Experiment

As global food demand rises, pests remain a significant threat to agricultural productivity, often causing up to one-third of potential crop losses. Traditional chemical pesticides, while effective, have led to environmental pollution and health risks. This book examines the shift towards biopesticides—especially microbial agents like Bacillus thuringiensis—as sustainable, eco-friendly alternatives. It discusses the development, commercialization, and mechanisms of action of these biopesticides in pest control. Highlighting their growing market potential and benefits for sustainable agriculture, the book offers essential knowledge for advancing integrated pest management strategies and addressing the challenges of global food security.
