TAILIEUCHUNG - Insect growth regulators for insect pest control

Insecticides with growth regulating properties (IGR) may adversely affect insects by regulating or inhibiting specific biochemical pathways or processes essential for insect growth and development. Some insects exposed to such compounds may die due to abnormal regulation of hormone-mediated cell or organ development. | EXCELLENT PUBLISHERS International Journal of Current Microbiology and Applied Sciences ISSN 2319-7706 Volume 8 Number 12 2019 Journal homepage http Review Article https Insect Growth Regulators for Insect Pest Control Sanjay Cyril Masih1 and Bhat Rayees Ahmad2 1 Department of Zoology Ewing Christian Post Graduate College Allahabad India 2Department of Zoology Kurukshetra University Kurukshetra India Corresponding author ABSTRACT Keywords Insect growth regulators Carvacrol Derivatives insect pests Insect hormones Article Info Accepted 04 November 2019 Available Online 10 December 2019 Insecticides with growth regulating properties IGR may adversely affect insects by regulating or inhibiting specific biochemical pathways or processes essential for insect growth and development. Some insects exposed to such compounds may die due to abnormal regulation of hormone-mediated cell or organ development. Other insects may die either from a prolonged exposure at the developmental stage to other mortality factors susceptibility to natural enemies environmental conditions etc. or from an abnormal termination of a developmental stage itself. Insect growth regulators may come from a blend of synthetic chemicals or from other natural sources such as plants. The chemical composition of hormones indigenous to insects is now being studied and used as a basis for developing analogs or mimics against insects. The similarities however in certain aspects of biochemistry among vertebrates and invertebrates may result in the limited development of IGRs. Environmental contamination also creates a hurdle as well as a challenge for industries to develop compounds that provide a more environmentally or ecologically sound insect pest control. As part of on-going search for new biologically active molecules prepared from compound of natural origin we thought of Insect Growth Regulators as substitute to insecticides that are commercially used.
