Experts in Stored Product Entomology, Biofumigation/Biopesticides, Chemical Ecology, Toxicology The research interests on pest management from natural origin. Indo-Burma biodiversity hotspot, has been ranked 6th among the 25 biodiversity hotspots of the world. Biodiversity conservation events focus mostly on plant and animals, but a mind-boggling scale of insect pest control from botanicals is yet to be uncovered and exploited for human welfare. In North Eastern states of India, few studies are initiated for screening of bioactive molecules from plant diversity. However, insect pest control from natural origin is neglected. The ethnic people of North Eastern states of India practiced plants derived products as grain protectants or mosquito repellents or antifeedants etc... These traditional practice for pest management is major tool for explore natural sources for discovering new insecticides in order to address the problem of environmental and human health hazards and, to combat the evolution of insect resistance. In view of the priority for non-synthetic chemicals (Biopesticides) from plant origin, novel bioactive molecule will be isolated, characterized and evaluated, that could lead to the development of a new, eco-friendly, biodegradable safer bio-insecticide for insect pest control (grain protection against storage insect pest infestation or natural repellents against insect vectors or antifeedants against crop pests). In view of the above importance, the present research records on the basis of the traditional indigenous knowledge of the several ethnic people regarding the utilization of bioresources as insecticides. |
