The study analyzes advances and trends in the use of artisanal biopreparations in Latin American agriculture, made with natural ingredients and native microorganisms as an alternative to conventional agrochemicals. Through a bibliometric analysis, it identifies the leading countries in research (Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, and Mexico), the main types of biopreparations, such as Bokashi, and the crops where they are applied. The study highlights the need to strengthen applied research, knowledge dissemination, and collaboration between scientists and farmers to expand the adoption of sustainable agroecological practices.
