Pesticide alternatives for insects in tropics
Article Abstract:
The use of natural plant products instead of pesticides ensures the safe control of large number of pests and the economic well being of people in the tropical areas. These organic formulations created from naturally occurring biochemicals possess resistance to hundreds of insect species, contain no toxicity to humans as well animals compared to synthetic pesticides, and are available at lower costs. Further research in finding newer and better alternatives to pesticide use is necessary, despite enormous financial expenditures involved in such an endeavor.
