Biopesticides are effective, eco-friendly, biodegradable and do not leave any harmful residue on environment. Various types of bacterial, fungal and virus are widely used as biopesticides. Biopesticidesare categorized into three most important classes namely, microbial pesticides, biochemical pesticides and plant-incorporated protectants. In this review, use, mode of action and application of biofungicides, bacterial pesticides, viral pesticides, botanicals, pheromones, predators and parasitoids are discussed in details.
