Answer» Correct Answer - B Biopesticides are those biological agents that are used for control of weeds, insects and pathogens. The microorganisms used as biopesticides are viruses, bacteria, protozoa, fungi and mites. Some of the biopesticides are being used at a commercial scale. most important example is the soil bacterium, Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt).
