The medicinal plants have known from the past of their incredible ingredients which can heal the many diseases as well as for the control of many pest. Many agricultural pests are known to damage crops and cause economic loss to the mankind whereas in case of medically important pest, they are the route of spreading of many deadly diseases. To eradicate pest, today we are mainly depending upon synthetic chemicals at the cost of environment and non-target organisms. Resistance of pest against pesticides is of the major problem all over the world. There is another category of chemicals known as phytochemicals which are much safe and environment friendly and can compete well with the man-made chemicals to control the target organism. Phytochemicals has a mixture of complex compounds due to which the development of resistance in the pest is much slower. The constituents present inside the plants as their defense can be incorporated in pesticides industry which led to the formation of Bio-pesticides which can effective control the population of different pests in a much safe manner.
