Description
This book contains 13 chapters which deal with the current state and future prospects of botanical pesticides in the eco-friendly management of plant pests. Different issues, including the global scenario on the application of botanical pesticides, plant products in the control of mycotoxins, the commercial application of botanical pesticides and their prospects in green consumerism, natural products as allelochemicals, their efficacy against viral diseases and storage pests, and bioactive products from fungal endophytes, are covered. The book may be useful to many, including plant pathologists, microbiologists, entomologists, plant scientists and natural product chemists. It is expected that the book will be a source of inspiration to many for future developments in the field. It is also hoped that the book will become useful for those engaged in such an extraordinary and attractive area. The book would serve as the key reference for recent developments in frontier research on natural products in the management of agricultural pests and also for the scientists working in this area.
