Using conventional pesticides can harm the environment, human health, and beneficial organisms, and also reduce their effectiveness over time due to disease resistance. To protect crops from diseases and pests, it is better to use eco-friendly biopesticides that are derived from natural sources. They can be used along with a spreader and a micronutrient to improve their coverage and plant health.
