Abstract:
    As an alternative to conventional chemical pesticides, fungal biopesticides are becoming increasingly popular. Spraying crops with chemicals not only pollute the environment but also introduces harmful substances into the food chain. As the research showed, fungus-based biopesticides not only help prevent crop damage from pests but also promote plant development.
What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ?
    All of our farmers are using toxic and expensive chemicals on their crops. There needs to be a change and a revolution in this area to safeguard the planet and human health.
Who needs it ? How many would benefit ?
   The introduction of green technology necessitates the use of biopesticides as an agent to create a chemical-free environment and safeguard the well-being of all forms of life.
How will the solution works
    Once the fungus (specific strain) has been cultured in the lab, mass production of that fungus can begin, and the resulting spores can be harvested and sprayed on crops in the field.
Who are your competitors ? How is your solution different
    Competitors include companies that make chemicals for controlling pests; this strategy offers advantages over existing options in terms of both cost and the protection of humans and life of all forms.
