A bioherbicide (or biopesticide) is a herbicide that is based on a living organism, such as fungi, bacteria or protozoa, which eats or results harmful the pests that the user wishes to erradicate. A bioherbicide based on a fungus is called a mycoherbicide.

There most important advantage, is that you can choose a organism that doesn't threat other organisms besides the chosen pest, and the controls needed to enable consumption are practically non-existant or easier to apply.

Among their disadvatages though, are that the chosen organism may result harmful to other beings besides the controlled pest.
