Abstract

Globally, the use of Agrochemicals or Synthetic pesticides and fertilizers are being used to boost agricultural production and soil management. They are valued for their ability to condition the soil, add nutrients, as acidifiers, control disease, and pests, and generally enhance agricultural productivity and safety. However, recent studies have reported the adverse effects of these agrochemicals on the soil, plants, and animals consuming such contaminated plants. This has generated public health issues and environmental concerns, especially for the farmers. The World Health Organization has raised concern about the effect on the farmers, as the issues of poor application methods and timing, linger. Furthermore, the use of alternative agro-inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides as a substitute for conventional agrochemicals has been encouraged. Biological substances with fewer safety risks and are easily biodegradable (eco-friendly), pose less threat to the environment compared to conventional agrochemicals. Biopesticides can be made from extracts of plants—corn gluten, black pepper, and garlic compounds; naturally occurring insect hormones; and microbial organisms such as bacteria and fungi. Genetically improved plants also serve as biopesticides to certain pests. Biofertilizers can be produced from many microbial taxa including beneficial bacteria and fungi. However, substituting conventional agrochemicals with biological fertilizers and pesticides has not been fully achieved; reasons given are lack of knowledge about their availability; lack of quality information on possible alternatives; ecological effects; and possible adoption; usage (quantity) are all constraints to completely substitute. Hence this review will elaborate on all these with an emphasis on sustainable environment and ecosystem services.
