Conteúdo: 	Brazil has a diversified agriculture including food production systems ranging from large growers to small family farmers. Most of these agricultural systems demand ecofriendly products for sustainable pest management due to increasing issues concerning insect resistance, environmental contaminations and health problems caused by excessive use of synthetic agrochemicals of which Brazil is the world?s largest consumer. In this context, alternative control measures, including the use of biological control agents, natural plant resistance inducers, and botanical pesticides, are attaining great relevance for producers and consumers. Despite the advantages of botanical insecticides and market demand for them, registration issues of these phytochemicals in Brazil have been very difficult for small pesticide producers due to restrictive costs, procedure complexity and time-consuming process to obtain marketing license. However, the recent approval and implementation of specific legislation for registering products for organic agriculture have enabled the registration of new biopesticides developed from sources of the Brazilian flora as well as the introduction of formulations already commercially available in other countries. Consequently, this simplified process is boosting the creating of new companies, or even new lines of business assumed by traditional chemical companies, and new trends for deployment of phytosanitary products mainly in small crops, which increase concerns about maximum limits of pesticide residues. I will discuss some market opportunities for commercialization botanical insecticides in Brazil and the current challenges faced by these alternative products. Moreover, I will show research advances on detecting of new botanical pesticides sources based on industrial wastes as well as innovations in procedure formulations using nanotechnology as an approach to improve their effectiveness and stability.
