Dr. Nidhi Didwania, Associate Professor, Department of Biotechnology, and Ms. Deepti Sadana, Research Scholar published a patent on ‘Biopesticide Formulation and a process for the preparation thereof’.

Particularly this invention relates to a bio-pesticide composition for use in the agricultural fields, to save the crops from fungal infections and a process for the preparation of the bio-pesticide formulation/composition.

The present invention provides a bio-pesticide formulation/composition which can be used to reduce diseases in the crops and increase in yield of crops as an alternative to excess and injudicious use of the conventional chemical fungicides/pesticides that imposed adverse effects on the environment and human health.

The biopesticide is effective against multiple phytopathogens harmful to crops and does not create resistance, resurgence, and residue problem. The biopesticide also increases plant vigor and natural resistance of the agricultural land to fight against biotic and abiotic stresses.
