Abstract
The long-term applications of synthetic insecticides have resulted in residues accumulating in different environmental components. They have adverse effects on non-target organisms, ecosystems, and human health. Therefore, bio-insecticides “Green pesticides” have been posted as an alternative to synthetic insecticides in agriculture and public health sectors. The study presented here focuses on the prospects of essential oils (EOs) as bio-insecticides for insect pest management. The EOs are a complex of chemical compounds with multiple modes of action that enhances their activity because of the synergistic action between constituents. Because of their volatility in nature, EOs are used as a fumigant against agriculture and storage food insects. Consequently, EOs-based insecticides are very important for controlling stored insects because they are active against a variety of insects, fast penetrating, and no toxic residues in the treated products.
