Why biopesticides?
Biopesticides are naturally ocurring substances that are relatively specific for their targets, unlike conventional broad spectrum pesticides that may affect organisms such as other insects, birds and mammals.
These natural products are generally less toxic than conventional pesticides, effective in small doses and decompose quickly. Biopesticides are therefore less hazardous and more environmentally friendly than most synthetic pest control agents.
Why encapsulate biopesticides?
Pyrethrins
These natural substances are highly effective against many pests and are more environmentally friendly compared to conventional pesticides. Pyrethrins can be formulated using micro-encapsulation to allow controlled release over a given period of time.
Pheromones
These volatile substances can be used to disrupt mating behaviour of insects when applied during mating season. Disorientation of sexually mature insects can significantly reduce population size.
