“…The review of existing pesticides has led to the removal of several from the market. Many active ingredients have been eliminated because registration dossiers were not submitted, incomplete or withdrawn by industry . This has led to a large reduction in chemical alternatives for pest and weed control.…”

The present study has provided baseline information needed to assess the potential hazard of the fungal toxins of A. caulina. In particular, the acute and chronic effects on aquatic (algae, Daphnia and fish) and terrestrial organisms (earthworms) have been highlighted. Finally, a comparison of the inherent toxicity of ACTs with other synthetic herbicides has shown comparative ecotoxicity of the tested mixture.

“…In the search for alternative solutions to crop protection problems, the interest in plants and their chemobiodiversity as a source of bioactive substances has increased. Plants are capable of synthesizing an overwhelming variety of small organic molecules called secondary metabolites, usually with very complex and unique carbon skeleton structures [23]. For many years for the protection of crops, these substances are used for the benefit of mankind [24].…”

“…Plants release some chemicals in environment and when they are used as smother crops, green manures, intercrop, cover crop or mulch, or in rotational sequences grown than it can invade insect-pests and pathogenic diseases and shows the progress in the yield of crops [25]. Botanicals include crude or semi refined extracts and isolated or purified compounds from various plant species and commercial products [23].…”

Among all the crops, the total loss due to the pests varied for each crop likely for wheat 50%, cotton 80%, maize 31%, rice 37%, potatoes 40%, and soybean 26%. Environmental stewardship and food security are the most important factors that involved in agriculture. In many cases by the misuse of insecticide led to population resurgence, pesticide residues, and pest resistance. The microorganisms like virus, fungus, protozoan or bacterium are the active ingredient in this type of pesticides. Safety of food alludes to the conditions and practices that save the quality of food to anticipate tainting and food borne sicknesses. Natural enemies and botanicals play a vital role to control pests with different mechanisms. Microbial, for example, microscopic organisms, growths, and infections are the major biopesticides being concentrated generally to create contrasting options to chemicals. The number and development rate of biopesticides demonstrate an expanding promoting pattern in recent decades. Biopesticides are host particular and biodegradable bringing about slightest persistency of leftover poisonous quality. Biopesticides make key commitments to IPM and can enormously lessen ordinary pesticides. Nowadays, the globe is working on proteinbased biopesticide, and it is very effective method to control the insect pest.

“…Bio-agents are all sort of biological agents consisting of microbial agents, natural enemies, parasitoids and parasites; and botanicals. Several types of biocontrol agents (Barratt et al, 2018) and biopestides (Cavoski et al, 2011), which are broadly used interchangeably have been used as conventional biotechnology products for the management of pests. These pest control agents are composed of either of the bio-agents (Guleria and Tiku, 2009;Cavoski et al, 2011;Enyiukwu et al, 2016) and their Secondary metabolites (Mazid et al, 2011;Pino et al, 2013).…”

These components can be used alone or combined with each other to sustainably maximize the benefits (Barzman et al, 2015;Stenberg, 2017).…”

There are many constraints that severely affect the global agricultural production and productivity which include the ever increasing of population growth, degradation of natural resources, climate changes and emerging pests. Among these factors, biotic constraints or pests are known to cause 25-50% or complete loss of plant production. Accordingly, various plant protection technologies have been deployed with the trend of focusing on the use modern biotechnological tools that are proven to be most effective and mandatory. The review covers a wide array of pest management methods ranging from the conventional biological control methods up to molecular breeding techniques. Furthermore, the application of new genetic engineering techniques fueled by new breakthroughs and innovations are the cornerstone of this review. Accordingly, the continuous increasing trend of GM crops cultivation in both crop type and hectare has urged many countries to deploy the technology as a key strategy to enhance their bioeconomy. In fact, plant protection is the discipline that immensely benefit from biotechnology than any other disciplines for ensuring food security and sustainable development. However, in order to fully exploit the enormous potential of biotechnology, appropriate biosafety regulatory frameworks and proper stewardship programs need to be effectively implemented. This integrated approach can promptly help respond to the ever-dynamic threat of pests and hence reliably combat food insecurity and ably contribute to sustainable development. Int. J. Appl. Sci.
