Pesticidas Naturais Derivdos de Plantas: Descoberta et Usos (Natural Pesticides Derived from Plants: Discovery and Uses). In: Halfeld-Vieira, B.A, Marinho-Prado, J.S., Nechet, K.L., Morandi, M.A.B., Bettiol, W., editors. Defensivos Agrícolas Naturais: Uso e Perspectivas (Natural Agricultural Defenses: Use and Perspectives). Jaguariúa, Brazil: Emprapa Meio Ambiente. p. 505-541.Interpretive Summary: This review discusses the chemical diversity of natural products and the possibility of isolating active compounds for pest management using bioassays. There is currently a demand for more effective and less expensive natural products for pest management. The approval process for natural products as pesticides is relatively fast in the United States, especially if the constituents are known for safety.  However, organic farmers seem mostly interested in new products containing essential oils as active ingredients. In addition to the research being conducted in laboratories and greenhouses, to reach farmers, evaluations in the field deserve more attention. Natural products are considered more environmentally friendly and are likely to be accepted by both organic and conventional farmers.
