Scientific literature reports a wide variety of ingredients that have
been evaluated in bioinsecticide formulations to provide benefits
directly to one or more aspects of the bioinsecticide, many of which
having been presented Proper selection among adjuvants is
necessary to maintain the viability of the pathogen and provide for a
stable emulsion/suspension of the biopesticide in the spray tank.
Although microbial pathogens are potentially effective substitutes
for chemical insecticides, their efficacy needs to be greatly
improved at a lower cost in order to compete with synthetic
insecticides. One consideration to keep in mind is
that bioinsecticides are generally applied at much higher rates than
some of the newest synthetic insecticides but produce less
undesirable effects on human health and the environment.

After 15 years of research, a new technology for biological pest control is

ready for commercial use. It is a biopesticide made from nematodes, tiny
worms, less than a millimeter in size, that live in the soil. They are to be
used in combating insects and other organisms that attack crops such as
sugarcane, ornamental plants and eucalyptus. The new biological
insecticide was developed by agronomist and entomologist
