"Pest management is facing significant economic and environmental challenges worldwide due to excessive use of pesticides. Plant-based pesticides offer a sustainable and cost-effective alternative, with their effectiveness, availability, low toxicity, and rapid biodegradability. However, formulation difficulties and limited chemical data have hindered their global acceptance. This review aims to highlight the current usage, phytochemical compositions, insecticidal mechanisms, and challenges of plant-based pesticides in sustainable agricultural production."
Pest management is being confronted with immense economic and environmental issues worldwide because of massive utilization and over-reliance on pesticides. The non-target toxicity, residual consequence, and challenging biodegradability of these synthetic pesticides have become a serious concern, which urgently requires the alternative and prompt adoption of sustainable and cost-effective pest control measures. Increasing attention in environmental safety has triggered interest in pest control approaches through eco-friendly plant-based pesticides. Botanical pesticidal constituents are effective against myriads of destructive pests and diseases. More importantly, they are widely available, inexpensive, accessible, rapidly biodegradable, and have little toxicity to beneficiary agents. The phytochemical compositions in diverse plant species are responsible for their varying mechanisms of action against pests and diseases. However, difficulties in their formulation and insufficient appropriate chemical data have led to a low level of acceptance and adoption globally. Therefore, the review seeks to highlight the status, phytochemical compositions, insecticidal mechanisms, and challenges of plant-based pesticide usage in sustainable agricultural production.
