Secondary Metabolites of Microbials as Potential Pesticides

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Sustainable Management of Potato Pests and Diseases

Abstract

Crop protection has become an integral part of production system with substantial price tag. Overreliance on chemical pesticides masked the effects of natural pest controlling factors like microbial pathogens. The importance and safety associated with these efficient pest suppression options led to their increased use in recent past. However, being living organisms their formulations, shelf life, persistence and potential in different agroecological regions, etc. are a bottleneck. At this juncture, deep insights into the modes of action lead to the discovery of metabolites that are actually and actively involved in the pathogenicity and killing of the host species. Further advances in organic and synthetic chemistry escorted the commercial facets of these pesticidal secondary metabolites. Recent past has seen the discovery of a variety of novel microbial origin pesticidal compounds and has become an evergrowing science in view of the existing diversity of microbial pathogens and strains. Some of them also saw the status of commercial pesticides with huge success. The target specificity, structural distinctiveness, novel modes of action, and environmental safety are the chief contributing factors for their success as potential pest suppression options. In this context, this chapter discusses the pesticidal (insecticidal, antifungal, antibacterial, and nematicidal) activities (target pests, modes of action, chemical structures, etc.) of different metabolites produced by diverse pathogenic microorganisms of agricultural importance.
