Many research has been published since last decades about the fumigant activity of plant secondary metabolites (terpenes groups) as a fumigants against insect pests. But still lacks commercial formulations i.e. tablets or slow release formulations. Does such kind of research is just to fulfill the curiosity of researchers or is there a future possibilities to use these secondary metabolites as alternatives to phosphine widely used fumigants.

Actually, the interest in plants and their chemo-biodiversity as a source of bioactive secondary metabolites has increased. Among the topics considered in this review are the general aspects and approaches to study plant secondary metabolites from the pest management perspective, including the progress achieved in the discovery process of new potential biopesticides.
A background and the present situation of the development and use of these metabolites in pest management are covered emphasizing their perspectives and challenges
En la búsqueda de soluciones alternativas a los problemas en la sanidad vegetal, se ha
incrementado el interés en las plantas y su quimio-biodiversidad como fuente de metabolitos secundarios
bioactivos. Entre los tópicos considerados en esta revisión se encuentran los aspectos generales y enfoques
para el estudio de estos metabolitos, relacionados con el manejo de plagas, con énfasis en los progresos logrados
en el proceso de descubrimiento de nuevos bioplaguicidas potenciales. Se abordan los antecedentes y la situación
actual en el desarrollo y uso de estos metabolitos en el manejo de plagas, resaltando perspectivas y retos.
Para que un proceso de investigación y desarrollo sea exitoso y conduzca a un producto comercial, deben
considerarse, desde el inicio, una amplia gama de criterios

It has been found that the large group of secondary plant metabolites, including alkaloids, saponins, phenols and terpenes are compounds which have ability to manage the insect pests Syed Arif Hussain Rizvi
Although, it may not replace phosphine at central storage, but will certainly help in onfarm storage. Some compositions have been found to be as effective as phosphine against major insect pests, however, their high cost is a major stumbling block in their commercialization. But certainly some formulations will come in the market in near future as interest of pesticide companies is increasing in this field.
