Microbe-produced pesticides offer eco-friendly alternative to chemical pesticides in China.
Microbe-produced pesticides, like those made by bacteria and fungi, are becoming more important as chemical pesticides are restricted. These bio-agrochemicals include products like bacillus thuringiensis and virus pesticides. Researchers in China have been studying and applying these microbe-produced pesticides to help protect crops from pests and diseases. Their work shows that these bio-agrochemicals have great potential for use in agriculture.
