摘要：Pest control agents using plant-based material have been proposed and used as alternatives to syntheticchemicals for integrated pest management. Phytochemicals have been known to have little or no harmful effects onpose humans or the environment as they are safe and mostly biodegradable in nature. The bioactivity of plant-basedcompounds has been widely reported in numerous literature and is a subject that is gaining more relevance by the day.The antifeedant technique for control of post harvest pest have been studied extensively though mostly at laboratorylevel and only very few plant-based compounds or formulations have actually been used in agricultural post harvestprocesses. Plant-based antifeedants secondary metabolites are found among chemical compounds such as phenols,alkaloids, quassinoids, chromenes, saponins, polyacetylenes,, cucurbitacins, cyclopropanoid acids, terpenoids and theirderivatives. This paper discusses some of these compounds and their effect against known storage pests.
