Abstract:
This qualitative study investigates the role of agrotechnology in pest
management by assessing the effectiveness of biopesticides, integrated pest
management (IPM), and genetic engineering. Through an extensive review of
existing literature and case studies, the research aims to elucidate how these
technological advancements contribute to sustainable agricultural practices
and effective pest control. Biopesticides derived from natural materials such
as microorganisms, plants, and certain minerals, are highlighted as a key
component in modern pest management. The study finds that biopesticides
offer an environmentally friendly alternative to conventional chemical
pesticides, reducing the ecological impact and the risk of pesticide
resistance. They are effective against a broad spectrum of pests while being
safe for non-target species, including humans and beneficial insects. The
research underscores the importance of developing and optimizing
biopesticide formulations to enhance their efficacy and acceptance among
farmers.In conclusion, the study suggests that the integration of
biopesticides, IPM, and genetic engineering in pest management strategies
can lead to more sustainable and effective agricultural practices. It
advocates for continued research and collaboration among scientists,
policymakers, and farmers to develop and implement these technologies
responsibly. Future research should explore the long-term impacts of these
technologies on agricultural ecosystems and their potential to adapt to
changing environmental conditions.
