Bananas are an essential food source for many countries and the most cultivated soft fruit in warm regions of the world. However, banana plants face various insect threats that reduce their productivity. Farmers use insecticides to control these pests, but this can harm people and the environment and make the pests more resistant. The best way to deal with banana pests is to use natural enemies instead of chemicals.

One way to reduce the environmental and health risks of chemical pesticides is to use biopesticides, which are derived from natural sources. However, biopesticides may also have some unintended consequences for other living beings and the ecological balance. Therefore, more data is required from the registration processes of biopesticides to evaluate their safety and efficacy. UAL provides some of the best organic inputs for biopesticide production.
