While the green revolution has had a significant impact on crop yields, it has failed to integrate with agricultural sustainability. Unnecessary use of chemical fertilisers and pesticides has had negative consequences for human health and the environment. Excessive pesticide use in agroecosystems has irreversible consequences. Microbial bio-pesticides and botanicals are gaining traction as a viable alternative to conventional pesticides. These are not harmful to the climate. In agriculture, bio-pesticides can be used to combat some of the most damaging plant diseases and insect pests. This review article focuses on various types of Microbial Biopesticides (Entomopathogenic Fungi, Bacteria, Virus, and Nematodes) as well as Botanicals or Botanical Pesticides (Neem, Rotenone, Pyrethrum, Ryania, Sabadilla, and Eucalyptus oil) that can be used as an alternative to chemical or synthetic pesticides as a step toward agricultural sustainability. When used correctly, biopesticides have a huge potential to improve agriculture's productivity and environmental protection.
