Abstract: The biological means for plant protection in Bulgaria are not yet sufficiently represented in the practice. Although some of them demonstrated its qualities for a long time, there is still some mistrust among farmers. On the other hand the price of these preparations is significantly higher than conventional. The increase the areas with organic production in recent years and increasing of environmental requirements to chemical preparations, imposes the creation and marketing of new, effective and economically biological agents to combat harmful organisms. As a result of the work is developed biopesticide based on extract of tobacco and is determined its insecticide efficacy.
