Abstract

For the protection of crop plants from insect pest menace, growers are mainly relying on synthetic pesticides but indiscriminate and untimely application have created a number of unwanted side effects such as the development of resistant mechanism in insects, detrimental effect on natural enemies, environmental pollution and health hazards. For this, diversification of the management approaches is necessary and the use of oils may be a safe alternative of synthetic insecticides. Here, oil includes both mineral and plant oils. They exhibit their activity on a wide range of insect pests by various mechanisms like blocking the respiratory system; dissolve the insect outer body layer, interfering normal metabolism, affects reproduction of the pests etc. There are many research articles available which mainly focus on the use of essential oil for insect pest management but few are available regarding the use of mineral and vegetative oil for the above-mentioned purpose. For this, along with, essential oil, the role of mineral and vegetable oils for insect pest management have been discussed here with their recent development. Beside this, the present study is also intended to discuss the mode of action of oils in insects, effects on non-target organisms, activity enhancement and suggest potential further directions of research in this field.
