India's Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has created a
comprehensive new web portal on biopesticides.
The portal highlights:
1) the increasing role of
biopesticides, biocontrol agents, and botanical and novel
biopesticides;
2) the process for registration of biopesticides India; and
3) referral laboratories and different biopesticide-related
projects being supported by the DBT in India.
The article says the new portal
was created out of recognition of the important role of
biopesticides in modern agricultural concepts of integrated pest
management and sustainable agriculture.
The web portal can be viewed at
