Abstract: India's rich bio-diversity is an ace factor, always providing a wide source of biopesticides which can be effectively used in agriculture at a large scale. Also increasing health consciousness of Indian citizens has created a demand of organic food. The rich indigenous technical knowledge base available with the highly diverse indigenous communities in India provide valuable clues for developing and innovating newer and effective biopesticides. Pea is one of the off-season vegetable grown in the villages in the ecozone of Great Himalayan National Park. The farmers are completely dependent on chemical pesticides for pest management in pea crop. The use of biopesticides can reduce the dependence on chemical pesticides and it will further reduce its harmful effects on consumers and environment. This indicates huge scope for growth of biopesticides sector.
