Insecticides Derived from Natural Products: Diversity and Potential Applications

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Current Trends in Microbial Biotechnology for Sustainable Agriculture

Part of the book series: Environmental and Microbial Biotechnology ((EMB))

Abstract

Entomopathogenic microbes viz., bacteria, actinomycetes, fungi, virus, protozoans; microbial metabolites; phytochemicals from plants viz., neem, chrysanthemum, tobacco, derris, basil, citrus, etc., and compounds of animal origins viz., nereistoxin and insect pheromones have evidenced excellent protection against crop pests and are commercially available. Most of these microbes and bioactive molecules of natural origins are target specific, biodegradable, and eco-friendly. Insecticides from natural products will act as an effective alternative to pollution-causing synthetic agrochemicals with high health hazard to nontarget organism in the ecosystem. Extensive research to screen and identify environmentally safe biomolecules of natural origin with high efficacy against target organisms and intensive studies on their biological activity, mode of action, and ways to enhance their bio-efficacy using biotechnological tools may help in improving their bioactivity and target specificity. This chapter discusses about diverse group of entomopathogens, microbial metabolites, botanicals, insecticidal toxins of animal origin, and semiochemicals conferring plant protection against herbivorous insect pests and their potential application for crop protection.
