Abstract

The research aims to establish the effectiveness of using biological plant protection as an alternative to chemical pesticides. The material used includes a review of scientific research on the problem at hand, and the methods refer to analysis and synthesis, comparative analysis, and a logical approach. The results show that biopesticides, as part of biological plant protection, limit the negative impacts on the environment and achieve high yields.
