The publication enlightens awareness of bio pesticides and biological pest management practice. This will surely help in the selectivity of beneficial animals. Many of the modern pesticides used today, persist in soil for years. The toxicity build-up of these chemicals has been shown to cause damage in animals, plants, human health and are not easily degradable in the environment. Studies have shown that some plants contain components that are toxic to insects and pest called bio pesticides. Natural pesticides are made by organisms usually for their own defence, or are derived from a natural source such as plant, animal, bacteria, and certain mineral. A few examples of these natural pesticides are Rotenone , carboxin, nicotine, neem etc Natural pesticides usually target nervous system, resulting in knock-down, lack of coordination, paralysis and finally death of the organism. Rotenone inhibits the transfer of electron from NADH to ubiquinone. It disrupts energy metabolism by inhibiting the electron transport system (ETS). The latter block ATP synthesis in the mitochondria. Nicotine inhibits and competes with neurotransmitter acetylcholine receptors at the nerve synapses. Pyrethrum exerts their toxic effect by disrupting the sodium and potassium ion. This interrupts the normal transmission of nerve impulses. Most pesticides show their effect through contact, respiratory, or stomach poisons to the target organism. Bio pesticides are generally bio-degradable. And they are also very effective. Natural pesticides should be the first choice for pest management. This review explains the major natural pesticides, mechanism, mode of action and origin.
