Agriculture involves producing plants and animals for food, biofuel, and other essential goods.
Synthetic pesticides have traditionally been used effectively to manage major crop pests.
However, many of these chemicals are non-biodegradable, leading to their accumulation in the environment and contamination of soil, water, and even the ozone layer.
Consequently, the misuse of synthetic pesticides has resulted in adverse environmental impacts, prompting the exploration of alternative pest management strategies.
