Abstract

The Multi-Science Journal (ISSN 2359-6902) is pleased to present the upcoming Special Issue titled "Trends in Bioinputs: Challenges and Opportunities". In recent years, the use of bioinputs has increased significantly as a viable alternative to conventional pest control methods and synthetic pesticides in agriculture. In Brazil, initiatives under the National Program of Bioinputs, promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, aim to stimulate economic, social, and environmental development by fostering innovation in this field. This Special Issue seeks to highlight and promote advancements in biofertilizers, biopesticides, and other biobased products. It also welcomes contributions on microbial fermentation, biomaterials, and emerging technologies associated with bioinputs.
