Botanical Pesticides for an Eco-Friendly and Sustainable Agriculture: New Challenges and Prospects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Agriculture

Abstract

The global food demand has been rapidly increasing due to expansion in the worldwide populace resulting in the waning of natural resources. The developed and emerging nations are tapping all means to feed the global population. In a run of these measures, many things brought ecological catastrophes and devastation to many organisms. In our farmlands, most of the crops are affected by a specific class of insects called pests. These pests are feeding on our crops, resulting in the collapsing of our agricultural produce. To save these crops from pests, we manufactured chemicals called pesticides which turned out to be very useful in eradicating the pests. Still, in the meantime, the excessive use of these pesticides brought massive devastation in many ways. Notably, most of the crops are dependent on cross-pollination, carried out by various types of insects. Around 80% of the crops worldwide are pollinated by insects (entomophily), especially the bees and other insect species of different families. But, with the frequent utilization of chemical pesticides, these pollinators and other beneficial insects are severely affected, resulting in a threat to their populations. The utilization of chemical pesticides affects insects, but their negative impact is also noticed in humans, aquatic organisms, birds, soil, water and the environment. So, the phytochemicals in botanical extracts are proven to be very much effective in preventing these dreadful crises due to a positive response by non-target organisms and low impact on our habitats and human health.
