Phytochemicals for Pest Management: Current Advances and Future Opportunities

Book cover 50 Years of Phytochemistry Research

Abstract

As with pharmaceuticals, a significant proportion of commercial pesticides are natural molecules or are derived from natural compounds. This review describes some of the past commercial successes of phytochemicals as pesticides by pesticide class as well as current work and future prospects for development of pesticides from plant-derived natural compounds. For example, two compounds isolated by assay-guided fractionation of the essential oil of American beautyberry (Callicarpa americana L.) (Verbenaceae), callicarpenal and intermediol, were found to have very potent insect repellent properties. An analysis of the number of new phytochemicals being discovered yearly and the relatively few bioassays for potential pesticidal activity that most of the known phytochemicals have been subjected to, indicates that this area still has a bright future. Furthermore, chemical modification of these compounds and their use to discover new modes of action greatly expand the scope for future work. In addition, the use of transgene technology holds great promise, not only to protect crops from pests, by imparting production or manipulation of production of pest management phytochemicals, but also for crop/weed allelopathy, as success in this effort would greatly decrease the most used form of synthetic pesticides, herbicides.
