Review on plant-based bioinsecticides and repellents for mosquito control
Authors

Abstract
Mosquito-borne illnesses continue to be a
serious public health concern at global level, and growing resistance to
synthetic pesticides has accelerated the hunt for safer substitutes. Because of
their biodegradability, target specificity, low toxicity to non-target
organisms, and decreased likelihood of resistance development, plant-based
bioinsecticides have become attractive tools. This review highlights the
insecticidal and mosquito-repelling properties of the main types of
plant-derived bioinsecticides, such as Essential oils, neem compounds,
pyrethrum, alkaloids, and other phytochemicals. They work by interfering with
insects' neurological, endocrine, and respiratory systems. The limitations and
commercial possibilities of plant-derived repellents are examined, as well as
their traditional and contemporary uses. The report also
highlights future plans that make use of synergistic formulations and
integrated mosquito management strategies.
