Bio-Pesticides are certain types of pesticides derived from natural materials like animals, plants, bacteria, and certain minerals. For example, canola oil and baking soda have pesticidal applications and are considered bio pesticides. They are natural enemies of pest organisms released en masse to control the pest, where the agent does not usually persist in high numbers in the crop environment. According to the FAO definition, biopesticides are those bio control agents that are passive agents, in contrast to bio control agents that actively seek out the pest, like parasitoids, predators, and many species of entomopathogenic nematodes.
