Pesticides is causing human health, environment, biodiversity and food Growing global concern about the damage that excessive use of synthetic Palabras clave: Agricultura sustentable, control biolГіgico, control de calidad, microorganismos benГ©ficos, Ecuador, normativa, producciГіn agrГcola. AdemГЎs, se mencionan aspectos relacionados con el control de calidad de productos biolГіgicos y las regulaciones para su registro. Esta revisiГіn recopila la importancia, el uso y las aplicaciones de productos biolГіgicos basados en hongos benГ©ficos en AmГ©rica Latina, destacando el proyecto 'Biocontrol para Sistemas AgrГcolas Sustentables' ejecutado en Ecuador, financiado por MFAT Nueva Zelandia, el cual ha demostrado la eficiencia del uso de microorganismos en la agricultura a travГ©s de los resultados de las investigaciones llevadas a cabo durante la ejecuciГіn de este Proyecto. Estos productos tienen caracterГsticas y modos de acciГіn que ayudan al control de plagas con menos riesgos que el uso de pesticidas. El cambio climГЎtico y otras transformaciones por las que atraviesa la agricultura, generaron hace dГ©cadas la apariciГіn de la industria de insumos biolГіgicos, que son productos amigables con el medio ambiente y la salud humana. Actualmente, el abuso y mal uso de los productos quГmicos ha causado una serie de problemas como contaminaciГіn (suelo y agua) y resistencia de las plagas a los ingredientes activos.

Los paГses desarrollados y subdesarrollados necesitan adoptar nuevas alternativas productivas, que mejoren la calidad de los alimentos, preservando el medio ambiente y los ecosistemas.

La agricultura atraviesa una crisis mundial, la productividad y la sostenibilidad son dos factores que los agricultores estГЎn desafiando para producir mГЎs alimentos, preservar el medio ambiente y la salud de los seres vivos. Keywords: Agricultural production, beneficial microorganism, biological control, Ecuador, quality control, regulation, sustainable agriculture.

In addition, aspects related to quality control of bioproducts and regulations for their registration are also mentioned. This review covers the importance, use and applications of biological products based on beneficial fungi in Latin America, highlighting the project 'Biocontrol for Sustainable Farming Systems' carried out in Ecuador, funded by MFAT New Zealand, which has demonstrated the efficiency of microbial products in agriculture through the research results obtained during the project. These biological products have characteristics and modes of action that provide pest control with fewer risks than from the use of chemical pesticides. Climate change and other transformations that agriculture is going through, have generated over recent decades the emergence of an industry of biological inputs, which are environmentally friendly products with little risk to human health.

Currently, the abuse and misuse of chemical products has caused a series of problems including contamination of soil and water and pest resistance to active ingredients. Developed and developing countries need to adopt new productive systems to improve the quality of food, preserve the environment and ecosystems.
