Preface
Growing consumer demand, insect/pest resistance pressure and an ever-changing
regulatory environment necessitate the discovery of new crop protection agents for
growers of today and tomorrow. Many of the developments in agrochemical research
in the last few decades have their origin in a wide range of natural products from a
variety of sources. In light of the continuing need for new tools to address an ever-
changing array of microbes, modern agricultural practices and evolving regulatory
requirements, the needs for new agrochemical tools remain as critical as ever. In that
respect, nature continues to be an important source for novel chemical structures and
biological mechanisms to be applied for the development of certain control agents.
Following this trend, the proposed book aims to cover important aspects of the use of
microorganisms and microbial metabolites as an alternative to the chemicals in the
agriculture field. Microbes, as a whole, can be exploited as eco-friendly, cost-effective
and sustainable agents. The ultimate goal is to support the scientific community, pro-
fessionals and enterprises that aspire latest developments and advances about the
exploitation of microbial products including their wide application, traditional uses,
modern practices and designing of strategies to harness their potential.
The endeavour of the book entitled Natural Bioactive Products in Sustainable
Agriculture is to present details of cutting-edge research in the field of agriculture and
development from bioactive natural products and help its readers to understand how
natural product research continues to make significant contributions in the sustainable
development of agriculture and environment. The book comprises 14 chapters con-
tributed by an elite group of researchers, working in the forefront of agricultural, natu-
ral products development practices. The book covers the advanced perspective, wide
applications, traditional uses and modern methods of harnessing the potential of natu-
ral biological products in agriculture for sustainable development. The latest develop-
ments and advances about the utilization of biological natural products in the field of
agriculture are also covered. It also includes interesting chapters that deals with the
exploitation of natural products as agrochemicals. It, therefore, serves as a useful book
for students, researchers, specialists, agriculturalists, chemical engineers, profession-
als and strategy developers working in the agrochemical and allied sectors.
