The future of Biologicals and Biopesticides in India is promising, with market growth projected to continue. The increasing emphasis on sustainability, coupled with supportive government policies, and rising consumer demand for organic produce, will drive further adoption.  

Advancements in research, such as the development of better formulations and the use of nanotechnology, will help overcome current challenges related to efficacy and shelf life. As public and private sector collaboration increases and awareness programs expand, biologicals are set to play a pivotal role in the future of sustainable Indian agriculture.  

Biologicals and Biopesticides offer a sustainable and eco-friendly alternative to synthetic agrochemicals in India. However, bridging the gap between potential and widespread adoption requires addressing challenges related to farmer awareness, product quality, cost, and a supportive regulatory framework. With increasing government support and technological advancements, the future outlook for these sustainable solutions remains promising. 

Topics to be covered during the session are: Rising demand for sustainable and organic produce; Government initiatives; Growing pest resistance; Advancements in research and technology; Increased focus on export markets; Limited shelf life and efficacy; Inconsistent field performance; Cost and supply chain; and Lack of farmer awareness.
