Biofungicides and their application

U današnje vrijeme sve je veća svijest ljudi i poljoprivrednih proizvođača o negativnim učincima kemijskih pesticida. Smatra se da su oni štetni za ljudsko zdravlje i za životnu sredinu te dovode do brze pojave rezistentnosti jedinki u populaciji nekih štetnih vrsta. Svi ti razlozi povećavaju potreba za razvojem novih proizvoda koji bi bili alternativa ili dopuna kemijskim mjerama zaštite. Ovdje mjesto nalaze biološki preparati i druge nepesticidne mjere. U radu su prikazani biopesticidi i njihova podjela, mehanizmi djelovanja biofungicida, pregled biofungicida, formulacija bioloških pesticida, te prednosti i nedostaci bioloških pesticida.Today, there is an increasing awareness of people and farmers about negative effects of chemical pesticides. It is believed that they are harmful to human health and the living environment and lead to the rapid occurence of resistant specimens in the population of some harmful species. All these reasons are increasing the need for the development of new products as an alternative or complement to the chemical protective measures. This includes biological products and other non-pesticide measures. This paper presents the biopesticides and their division, the mechanisms of action of biofungicides, review of biofungicides, formulation of biological pesticides, and the advantages and disadvantages of biological pesticides
