The study of bioresources for pesticides is an expansive field with the potential to revolutionize agriculture, pest management, and environmental sustainability. A multitude of plant families serve as sources for bioresource pesticides, each offering unique compounds and benefits for managing pests in a natural, environmentally friendly manner. Nadia Z. Dimetry’s work highlights how different plant families have been historically used to develop biopesticides, showcasing the vast potential that remains untapped in the world of natural pest control.

One prominent example of biopesticide development comes from the Annonaceae plant family. Murray B. Isman and Rita Seffrin explore how natural insecticides derived from this family present a unique opportunity for the development of biopesticides. Annonaceae plants contain potent bioactive compounds that show promise in effectively managing insect pests. These compounds could play a critical role in the future of biopesticides, offering an alternative to synthetic chemicals that are increasingly facing resistance from pests.

In Africa, sustainable crop protection strategies have taken on even greater importance as climate change exacerbates pest problems. Zeyaur R. Khan, Charles A. O. Midega, Jimmy O. Pittchar, and John A. Pickett discuss how phytochemicals can be exploited to develop sustainable crop protection strategies. Their research focuses on using plant-derived chemicals to bolster the resilience of crops against both pests and climate change, presenting a viable path for agriculture to adapt to a rapidly changing environment.

However, the development of insect resistance to plant biopesticides remains a significant challenge. Khanobporn Tangtrakulwanich and Gadi V. P. Reddy provide an overview of how insects are developing resistance to biopesticides derived from plants. While plant-based pesticides are a promising solution, this growing resistance underscores the need for continuous research and innovation in the field to ensure long-term efficacy.

Despite these challenges, major plant extracts and molecules continue to prove their efficacy against field insect pests. S. Gopalakrishnan, B. Ratna Kumari, R. Vijayabharathi, A. Sathya, V. Srinivas, and G. V. Ranga Rao examine how specific plant extracts can be applied in agricultural settings to manage pests effectively. Their findings suggest that the integration of these natural substances into pest management strategies can lead to more sustainable and less chemically dependent practices.

The utility of botanical pesticides extends beyond field crops. Anand Prakash, Jagadiswari Rao, J. Berliner, Somnath S. Pokhare, Totan Adak, and Kanchan Saikia investigate their use in managing plant nematodes and mite pests. These pests, which are often difficult to control with traditional methods, can be managed more effectively with the help of plant-based pesticides. The research highlights the potential of botanical pesticides in providing a more environmentally safe solution for pest control in various ecosystems.

Plant-derived pesticides also offer prospects for managing plant diseases, as detailed by Someshwar Bhagat, Ajanta Birah, Rakesh Kumar, M. S. Yadav, and C. Chattopadhyay. Their work focuses on the potential of plant-origin pesticides to manage plant diseases, a critical issue in agriculture that can lead to significant crop loss. These natural pesticides not only offer a safer alternative but also present an effective tool for disease control in various crops.

Stored product protection is another area where plant extracts have shown immense potential. Christos G. Athanassiou, Pathipati Usha Rani, and Nickolas G. Kavallieratos explore how plant extracts can be used to protect stored products from pests. This is particularly important for ensuring food security, as pests can cause considerable damage to stored grains and other products. Plant extracts offer a natural, less toxic option for safeguarding these products.

In Africa, the use of pesticidal plants on smallholder farms has proven to be a valuable strategy for managing stored product pests. Philip C. Stevenson, Sarah E. J. Arnold, and Steven R. Belmain highlight how smallholder farmers can benefit from using locally available pesticidal plants. These plants not only help manage pests but also reduce the reliance on expensive synthetic chemicals, providing an affordable and sustainable solution for rural farmers.

However, non-target effects of botanicals on beneficial arthropods remain a concern. S. Raguraman and M. Kannan investigate the impact of botanicals, particularly Azadirachta indica (neem), on non-target species such as beneficial insects. Their research underscores the importance of understanding the broader ecological impact of botanical pesticides to avoid unintended harm to beneficial species that play critical roles in ecosystems.

In addition to agricultural applications, plant biopesticides are also being developed for veterinary purposes. Srikant Ghosh and Reghu Ravindran discuss the progress in the development of plant biopesticides for controlling arthropods of veterinary importance. These natural pesticides offer a promising alternative for managing pests that affect livestock, reducing the need for synthetic chemicals in animal husbandry.
