The chemicals from plant sources, generally termed as
phytochemicals, play an important role in acceptance or rejection
of the plant by the pests as they could be distasteful or toxic on
one hand or on the other hand specialist herbivores have the
capability to feed on many such chemicals, as they are able to
process these natural products in a manner that is beneficial to
them. In the wake of increasing environmental degradation due to
burgeoning synthetic chemicals, there has been a process going on
to rediscover the usefulness of plants and herbs and a continued
effort for more than 2 decades has been to study the green products
for cures for several ailments and pest management. In fact,
according to Indian Medicinal Plants: A Sectoral Study, the global
trade for medicinal plants amounts to about US $ 60 billion and the
world demand continues to grow at the rate of 7 per cent per annum.
Although many such plants are known in literature, neem has been
one of trees with mani-fold virtues. Indian neem tree, Azadirachta
indica A. Juss, which is a large evergreen tree, is an outstanding
example among plants that has been subject matter of numerous
scientific studies concerning its utilization in medicine, industry
and agriculture. So far neem preparations have been evaluated
against more than 500 species of insects and more than 400 hundred
are reported to be susceptible at different concentrations.
