Natural Products for Pest Management
Upendra Sharma / Xing-Hai Liu
Deadline: June 30, 2023
Synthetic pesticides produced by chemical alterations are used globally for combating invasive pests and diseases. However, their excessive use is associated with environmental contamination, health hazards, and resistance amongst pests. Therefore, there is an urgent need to look into environmentally friendly alternatives to control pests. In this regard plants based natural products have been used as eco-friendly insecticide sources for crop protection. This special issue is aiming to highlight recent advances in the field of pest management by plant derived natural products, plants-based extracts/fractions, natural product mimics, essential oils, natural product based synthetic equivalents, computer-aided modelling and design for bioactive natural product, natural compound mixtures, quantitative structure activity relationship (QSAR) for discovery of bioactive natural products, and total synthesis of natural products with pesticidal activities.
