Global Biopesticide Market (in millions of dollars)

Page 3: Botanical pesticides in pm

•The global pesticide market was valued at nearly $43 billion in 2009 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.6% to reach $51 billion in 2014.

•Biopesticides segment is expected to grow at a 15.6% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from $1.6 billion in 2009 to $3.3 billion in 2014.

Registration of safer chemicals

Proportion of pesticide active ingredients that are considered to be safer (biological chemicals and reduced-risk conventional chemicals) has steadily increased over the last several years.

BOTANICAL PESTICIDES

ScopeIndigenous; most suited rural

milieu

·   Biodegradable – Green

·  Time tested through co-evolution

·  Least side – effects

·  Complex m.o.a; slow-resistance development

·  Useful lead-templates for potent version

Ideally suited to biotechnological innovations & integration

Biodiversity

Drawback Action “ayurvedic” not

allopathic Situation / location /target

specific Low level & stability No volume and sales /

turnover - No MNC would prefer

Low yield / chemo-type, genotype, eco-type variations; plant part, age; storage conditions critical

Crude works better; synergistic

Page 10: Botanical pesticides in pm

Push-pull or Stimulo – Deterrent Diversionary Strategy

Push Pull

Away from the crop Traps / trap crops

Masking of host attraction; (1R,5S) Myrtenal for Aphids fabae); Methyl salicylate against cereal aphids

Host attractants (Isothiocyanates of oilseed rape for the seed weevil and cabbage stem flea beetle

Repellents, antifeedants, oviposition deterrents

Aggregation, sex and oviposition semiochemicals

Attractants for predators and parasitoids; e.g. Faba beans produce 6-methy-5-hepten-2-one, an attractant for aphid parasitoid

PROBLEMS AND PROSPECTSPROBLEMS AND PROSPECTS

Page 13: Botanical pesticides in pm

Botanical Pesticides: IPR and Policy Issues

Framing pesticide policy to protect human and ecosystem health

Patentability of the product should be considered. Prior publication of pesticidal properties of a compound could cause patent problem

Patenting synthetic analogues with no mention of the natural source of the chemical family might be safer than patenting the natural product

Softening registration requirements for natural products

Page 14: Botanical pesticides in pm

PROSPECTS

Raising the threshold of active ingredients

Selection of germplasm tolerant to abiotic and biotic stress

Survey of plant biodiversity

Tissue and cell culture

On-farm production of botanical pesticides

Improving photo and thermal stability

Scientific investment in terms of money and human resource

BIOTECHNOLOGICAL TOOLS IN DISCOVERY

Page 16: Botanical pesticides in pm

The development through in vivo screening

Page 17: Botanical pesticides in pm

Gene expression profiling, a revolutionary tool in herbicide

discoveryGene Expression Profiling (GEP) with DNA microarrays (chips) is a new technology used to measure changes in the entire transcriptome, i.e. full complement of active genes, of an organism in a single experiment.

A catalogue of genetic fingerprints of the plant Arabidopsis thaliana, is created and each fingerprint being characteristic for a single herbicidal MoA is then used to rapidly classify herbicidal compounds from Ultra High Throughput Vivo Screening (UHTVS) according to their MoA.

Besides GEP also provides the opportunity to identify the affected metabolic pathway which is a first step towards the identification of novel herbicidal targets. Additionally GEP can identify the MoA of pro-drugs, which cannot be elucidated by conventional biochemical methods.

GEP provides insight into the interactions of any herbicidal compound with the entire plant metabolism with unprecedented accuracy and completeness.

Cyclotides are a structurally unique family of small disulfide-rich proteins embedded with highly stable structural motif and showing a broad range of roles in plant defense such as proteinase inhibition, anti-bacterial, anti-viral effects and insecticidal activities.

MADHUCA INDICA (MAHUA)(Family Sapotaceae)

• Mahua valued for its oil bearing seeds and flowers

• Traditionally utilized for alcoholic beverage production

• Seeds kernel constitute over 50% non-drying oil (66% total unsaturated and 33% total saturated)

• Mahua seed kernel contains 2.5% toxic saponin content which must be removed for utilizing mahua cake as animal feed

• Efforts have been made to separate saponins from defatted seed cake for possible use as pest control agents

Photo-activated xanthotoxins from Ammi majus seeds

Xanthotoxins are known for the treatment of vitiligo, leucoderma asthma, angina and digestive system disorders

The plant is widely cultivated in India for these bioactive furanocoumarins which are used in the treatment of vitiligo and psoriasis

Like other many photo-activated compounds these furacoumarins may find use in pest control

Isolation and LC analysis of xanthotoxins from Ammi majus seeds

The seed contains furanocoumarins (5-, and 8-methoxypsoralens), which stimulate pigment production in skin that is exposed to bright sunlight

Process has been developed and standardized for the efficient extraction of furanocoumarin from seeds using fluorinated solvents such as phytosols. Extractions were completed within three cycles

LC method has been standardized for the analysis of furanocoumarins using UV detector (230 nm), RP-18 column and acetonitrile as solvent system
