Abstract
This article explores the role of bioinputs in Brazilian agriindustry, a sector that is increasingly adopting biological inputs to improve crop protection and productivity. The major class of bioinputs, biopesticides, are derived from natural sources such as fungi, bacteria, nematodes,
insects and viruses, and offer several advantages over conventional pesticides, such as lower environmental and health impacts, higher specificity and compatibility with integrated pest management. The article presents economic data, registration statistics and application examples of different
types of biopesticides in Brazil. It also discusses the challenges and opportunities for biopesticide development and adoption in Brazil, taking into account the legislative framework, the research and development programs, the quality standards and integration with conventional inputs. The
article concludes by emphasizing the importance of bioinputs for tropical agriculture and suggesting some areas for future research.
期刊介绍:
Research and development in the crop protection and crop enhancement sector continues to grow at pace. Those associated with the agriculture and food industries, researchers in academia, government organisations, legislators, and professionals involved with the development and environmental impact of pesticides and biotechnology can all benefit from Outlooks on Pest Management. This bi-monthly journal provides a unique blend of international news and reviews covering all aspects of the management of weeds, pests and diseases through chemistry, biology and biotechnology.
