Alkaloids

Alkaloids are the most important group of natural substances playing an important role in insecticidal. Inhibit feeding or disrupt insect feeding. Most of these compounds have potent effects on insect pests, low mammalian toxicity, lack of neurotoxic activity, low persistence in the environment, and high biodegradability. Thus, organic molecules of botanical origin may offer a safe source of compounds for pest management, being environmentally friendly, and an excellent alternative to persistent synthetic insecticides.
