    AnnotationBotanical insecticides have long been touted as attractive alternatives to synthetic insecticides in plant protection because plant extracts reputedly pose little threat to the environment and human health. Extracts of Chrysanthemum sp., Azadirachta indica, Pongamia sp., and pesticides based on plant essential oils have recently entered the marketplace, and the use of rotenone appears to be waning. The extracts of medicinal plants, they may be a source of alternative agents for control of pests because they are rich in bioactive chemicals, active against a limited numbers of species including specific target insects, and bio-degradable. They are potentially suitable for use in integrated pest management programs. Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) with carbon dioxide as an environmentally benign and efficient extraction technique, this environmentally safe method can be viewed as suitable for the extraction of essential oils used for preparation of botanical insecticides.
