Eco-friendly pesticides are chemical or biological agents derived from natural sources or synthesized with minimal environmental impact, designed to control pests without causing long-term harm to ecosystems, human health, or non-target organisms. Unlike conventional chemical pesticides, which often persist in soil and water and bioaccumulate through the food chain, eco-friendly pesticides degrade quickly into harmless substances. Their formulation is based on principles of green chemistry and sustainable agriculture, aiming to balance effective pest management with ecological preservation. Examples include biopesticides derived from plants, bacteria, fungi, and viruses, as well as mineral-based formulations such as neem extracts, pyrethrins, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt), and essential oils. These agents disrupt specific pest biological pathways, reducing the likelihood of broad toxicity. The significance of eco-friendly pesticides in the agrochemical sector lies in their potential to reduce environmental degradation. Traditional synthetic pesticides have been associated with soil and water contamination, loss of biodiversity, and health hazards for farmers and consumers. In contrast, eco-friendly alternatives minimize these risks by being biodegradable, target-specific, and safer for beneficial organisms such as pollinators, predators, and soil microbes. This selectivity helps maintain ecological balance while still protecting
