A biopesticide composition contains a synergistic bioactive core consisting of essential oil, oleoresin, aqueous, alcoholic or hydroalcoholic extract of root or rhizomes of Zingiber officinale Roscoe and cinnamaldehyde or source of cinnamaldehyde. The composition may contain at least one secondary component and/or inert substances. A method is used for obtaining the biopesticide composition. The biopesticide composition is used in agriculture, parks and sports facilities against pests belonging to the whitefly group.
