ABSTRACT: Sustainable development demands exploration at Biopesticidal potential of plants. Botanical pesticides are biodegradable, safer alternative to the synthetic pesticides. Tropical plants provide a rich source of phytochemicals which exhibit antimicrobial, insecticidal properties. Acacia concinna and Momordica charantia have shown a good antimicrobial and insecticidal role. So their combined application to control insects of crop and ornamental plant as well as antimicrobial properties can be step close to eco-friendly world. Investigations are under progress with respect to their phytochemical aspects.

KEYWORDS: Biopesticides; Acacia concinna; Momordica charantia; plant pathogens
