Consider the following kinds of organisms :
- Bacteria
- Fungi
- Flowering plants
Some species of which of the above kinds of organisms are employed as biopesticides?
Detailed Explanation:
Bacteria (e.g., Bacillus thuringiensis) produce toxins that kill specific insects and are widely used as biopesticides.
Fungi (e.g., Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium anisopliae) infect and kill pests through parasitism.
Flowering plants (e.g., Chrysanthemum producing pyrethrin, Neem with azadirachtin) contain natural insecticidal compounds used as biopesticides.
All three organism types are employed as biopesticides.
