Governments of various countries are also introducing stringent methods to ascertain the quality of the food. This aspect is driving the farmers to use more and more bio-based products, and using bioinsecticides for their crops.
Among application areas for bioinsecticides, fruits and vegetables occupy the largest share by application. Our analysis shows that lately, many fruits and vegetables have tested positive for the presence of pesticides. This has decreased the demand for chemical pesticide-treated fruits and vegetables. Bioinsecticides have a relatively lower residue level and are a perfect fit for the treatment of fruits and vegetables and hence fruit and vegetable forms the largest application area for bioinsecticides.
