ABSTRACT: Exploitation of chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides are serious problems for today’s agriculture. Use of these chemical substances destabilize the natural soil microbial content and kills natural enemies of the targeted pest. Moreover, their contributions towards environmental pollutions are also significant. On the contrary, as an alternative source, the usage of biopesticides for pest control is emerging as a promising strategy for pest management in agriculture. However, the traditional use methods of biopesticides may result in the sub-optimal outputs. To provide solutions, the encapsulation of biopesticides is done that effectively improve the biopesticide performance and decreases the environmental contamination concerns. In this review, we have provided a brief idea about the current status and the future prospects of biopesticide usages and the different encapsulation methods employed to improve the biopesticide efficacy.
