SANTOS-DIAZ, Adriana Marcela et al. On-farm bioinputs production in Latin American agriculture: Advances and trends. Siembra [online]. 2025, vol.12, n.1, e7483. ISSN 2477-8850.  https://doi.org/10.29166/siembra.v12i1.7483.

Due to challenges related to sustainability and environmental protection, artisanal biopreparations, based on natural ingredients and ancestral methods, have emerged as a viable alternative to the use of traditional agrochemicals. This study identified research trends, collaborations and areas of greatest interest using tools such as the Lens® database and Bibliometrix® software. Our results revealed that Brazil is the leader in scientific production of biopesticides, followed by Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico. Also, the most studied bio-preparation is "bokashi", mainly used in vegetable crops. Although most publications are scientific articles, there is a lack of informative material, which hinders the adoption of these products by farmers. The results showed that there is a need to improve dissemination of information and collaboration between researchers and farmers, delaying investments in applied research to accelerate the adoption of sustainable technologies, and maximize benefits of biopreparations in agriculture. The analysis identified gaps in the assessment of the environmental sustainability of biopreparations, providing opportunities for future research.
