    Area of Science:

    • Agricultural Science
    • Entomology
    • Chemical Biology

    Background:

    • Insect growth regulators, known as morphogenetic agents, are crucial for developing selective pest control strategies.
    • Juvenile Hormones (JH-1, JH-2, JH-3) were identified as key insect developmental hormones.
    • Terpenoid and sesquiterpenoid derivatives have emerged as more potent morphogenetic agents than natural JHs.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the advancements in morphogenetic agents for insect control.
    • To evaluate the potential of novel terpenoid and sesquiterpenoid derivatives.
    • To assess the field performance, challenges, and future prospects of these compounds.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of research on insect morphogenetic agents.
    • Analysis of studies identifying and synthesizing potent JH analogs.
    • Evaluation of field trial data and performance assessments.

    Main Results:

    • Identification of Juvenile Hormones and their role in insect development.
    • Discovery of highly active terpenoid and sesquiterpenoid compounds surpassing natural JH potency.
    • Emergence of several potent morphogenetic agents from ongoing research.

    Conclusions:

    • Morphogenetic agents, particularly novel terpenoid and sesquiterpenoid derivatives, offer significant potential for selective insect control.
    • Further research is needed to optimize field performance and address challenges for widespread application.
    • These compounds represent a promising avenue for sustainable pest management strategies.
