    This document discusses microbes as a potential source of novel insecticides. It notes that insects pose negative effects and current chemical insecticides have hazards. Some microbes like Bacillus thurangiansis, Aspergillus niger, and Beauveria bassiana target insects like caterpillars, mosquitoes, and beetles through their mode of action. Microbial insecticides have advantages like being safe and environmentally friendly but also limitations like poor coverage and risks of insect resistance development.

    ect population is largest with more than 750000 species.


    gative effects of insects may cause severe problems.
    nthetic chemical insecticides provide many benefits to food
    oduction and also pose some hazardous conditions.
    ternate methods of pest management offer adequate levels of
    st control and pose fewer hazards.

    ADVANTAGES LIMITATIONS
     Safe for humans and animals. For Bt sprays:
     Genes are expressed in all parts of the  Poor coverage
    plant.  Low efficiency
     Toxins are environmental friendly.  UV degradable
     Improved resistance to pests. For Bt crops:
     Increased crop productivity.  can disrupt natural process of gene flow.
     Stability of production.  Risk of toxin resistance and decline in
    crop production.
