Crop plants have to be given protection against pests and pathogens by killing or removing them. it has carried out by using chemical pesticides which helps to decrease the growth of weeds, eradicate or kill insects and pests, and even kill birds, worms, and other organisms that feed on plants. Chemical pesticides are toxic and biocide and insect pests continue to develop resistance against them. It even harms human beings, pollutes the environment, contaminates the product, etc therefore, it is better to use biocontrol agents. Biocontrol agents are those organisms that help to control the pests and pathogens without their complete eradication. There is no side effect on plants, animals, non-target species and the environment.
