Abstract
Microbial insecticides are those microorganisms or their products that are capable of attacking and killing pest insects. This may be considered to be an aspect of biological control, but when one is dealing with the products of such microbes the control may be termed chemical. In the latter case, the products are natural insecticides or microbe-origin insecticides.
