Chapter 12 - Commercialization of biopesticides in Southeast Asia: potential and constraints [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Agriculture has witnessed steady growth in Southeast Asia in the last decade. Pest management in major cropping systems has been dominated by chemical pesticides, and pesticide-related policies have been inadequately implemented in Southeast Asia. Hence, significant investment has been made in the alternatives such as integrated pest management (IPM) to reduce the overreliance on hazardous chemical pesticides. IPM programs have been pioneered for major crops including rice, vegetables, cotton, and cassava. Besides resistant cultivars and biocontrol agents, biopesticides have emerged as a major component of IPM packages. Recently, significant progress has been made in harmonizing regulatory procedures for registering biocontrol agents across Southeast Asia. However, effective public–private partnership options should be strengthened in Southeast Asia, which could increase the accessibility, availability, and affordability of biopesticides to the smallholder farmers in the region. Conducive policy and regulatory environment, increasing demand for safer food, and the ever-increasing area under certified production systems (e.g., good agriculture practices and organic) are expected to provide an opportunity for mainstreaming biopesticides in Southeast Asia.
