Abstract

Since the early 1970s, agriculture has struggled with the evolution of resistance to chemical agents used to control pests. Increased necessity for repeated chemical applications, development of pesticide cross-resistance, and disease resistance management strategies have overshadowed the use of agricultural chemicals. Scientists are currently attempting to control agricultural pests with fewer effective chemical controls. In addition, the desire for safer pesticides with less environmental toxicity is a major public concern. Particularly desirable is the discovery of totally novel, prototype pesticidal agents representing new chemical classes with different toxicities that operate by different modes of action and, consequently, lack cross-resistance with currently used chemicals. In this respect, evaluating natural products and extracts to identify potential new pesticides offers an approach to discover new chemical entities that have never been synthesized by scientists.
