Turmeric shows good response to the application of biofertilizers as well. Integrated application of coir compost at 2.5 t/ha combined with FYM, biofertilizer (Azospirillum), and half the quantity of recommended NPK fertilizers, significantly increased yield and quality (Srinivasan et al., 2000).

• • On this page: • • • • • Before a pesticide can be marketed and used in the United States, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) requires that EPA evaluate the proposed pesticide to assure that its use will not pose unreasonable risks of harm to human health and the environment. EPA also determines whether there is a reasonable certainty of no harm from pesticide residues in food or feed and sets tolerances, or exemptions from tolerances, for allowable residues of pesticides in food and animal feed under the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetics Act (FFDCA), as amended by the Food Quality Protection Act (FQPA).

• • • What are Biopesticides? Biopesticides include naturally occurring substances that control pests (biochemical pesticides), microorganisms that control pests (microbial pesticides), and pesticidal substances produced by plants containing added genetic material (plant-incorporated protectants) or PIPs. ​Additional information on biopesticide active ingredients is available in.

Enter an ingredient name and look under the 'Regulatory Actions' tab for available information. You can also use the 'Filter by Pesticide Type' link on the right side of the page to see a list of all biopesticides.

From this list, you can access information about each ingredient. Biopesticide Registration Information The and web pages provide links to information tools to assist applicants. • FY2015 Work Plan for New Biopesticide Active Ingredients.

An overview of biopesticide registration can also be found in from the American Chemical Society’s Symposium Series titled Biopesticides: State of the Art and Future Opportunities. Plant-Incorporated Protectants (PIPs) are pesticidal substances produced by plants and the genetic material necessary for the plant to produce the substance. For example, scientists can take the gene for a specific Bt pesticidal protein, and introduce the gene into the plant's genetic material. Then the plant manufactures the pesticidal protein that controls the pest when it feeds on the plant.

Both the protein and its genetic material are regulated by EPA; the plant itself is not regulated. • • • • Pests and Biopesticides Used to Treat Them Interregional Project Number 4 (IR-4) The IR-4 Project has developed a database that allows the user to search for biopesticide and organic products that control specific pests. Use the drop down menus on the page to identify your pest, or pest/crop combination of interest. The searchable database will display products to use to treat pests. The database includes information on the efficacy of specific products, where available.
