Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Agricultural green production is a crucial component of the sustainable agriculture which refers to the use of designated development scenarios for the green development of agriculture. It develops stable, excellent quality, high-efficiency, and environmentally acceptable agricultural production processes with the goals of conserving energy, reducing consumption, and reducing pollution. Achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations depends on agricultural green development. The use of biological control agents will be a key feature of future sustainable crop production. Chemical pesticides are no longer thought to be the mainstay of sustainable pest management. Unlike agrochemicals, biological control agents have no lasting effects on fruits and vegetables, making it a suitable and safe approach for humans. Soil health is considered as the cornerstone of agriculture green development. Biological control strategies play a crucial role in maintaining the soil health with any adverse impact on the environment. The current review focuses on the importance of biological control strategies to achieve the goal of agricultural green development and soil health management. Adverse effects of the chemical pesticides to environment, soil and living organisms. Green agriculture development and role of the soil heath in sustainable agriculture. Biological control agents to improve soil health and sustainable agriculture.
