Biopesticides are the formulated form of active ingredients based on microorganisms
such as bacteria, viruses, fungi, nematodes or naturally-occurring substances, including
plant extracts and semiochemicals (e.g. insect pheromones). Application of biopesticides is
still limited to only a few percent of all pesticides used for crop protection. There are many
factors contributing to that situation, such as expensive production methods, poor storage
stability, susceptibility to environmental conditions, efficacy problems, etc. Some of
these problems can be overcome by formulation improvements. With many pressures on
product performance formulation is becoming the most important area to enhance and
extend the activity of biopesticides. In this paper we reviewed different types of biopesticides
existing on the market and discussed possibilities for their application and current status.
The expected future trends in formulation development of biopesticides are explained. Biopesticidi predstavljaju formulisane proizvode na bazi mikroorganizama kao što su
bakterije, virusi, gljive, nematode ili prirodnih proizvoda kao što su biljni ekstrakti i semiohemikalije
(npr. feromoni insekata). Udeo biopesticida koji se primenjuju u zaštiti bilja iznosi
svega nekoliko procenata od ukupne količine pesticide koja se upotrebljava u te svrhe.
Postoji više razloga za ovakvu situaciju kao što su, na primer, skup proizvodni proces, niska
stabilnost biopesticida pri skladištenju, osetljivost na klimatske uslove pri kojima se primenjuju,
zatim problemi vezani za efikasnost i dr. Neki od navedenih problema mogu da budu
prevaziđeni odgovarajućim procesom formulisanja biopesticida. Zahtevi za što kvalitetnijim
i efikasnijim proizvodima su sve veći tako da proces formulisanja otvara važan prostor
za povećanje i proširenje aktivnosti biopesticida.
U ovom radu razmatrane su različite formulacije biopesticida koje se nalaze na tržištu,
mogućnosti njihove primene, prikazano je trenutno stanje u ovoj oblasti i date su perspektive
daljeg razvoja.
