The large growth in the global population requires new solutions for control of harmful insects that compete our food. Changing regulatory requirements and public perception, together with continuous evolution resistance to conventional insecticides, also require, addition innovative molecules different modes action, non-chemical strategies can help maintain efficient integrated pest management programs. last 30 years have inaugurated a era characterised by discovery mechanisms action chemical families. Although European programs promote green deal crop protection sector, existing thorough regulations slow down its spread adoption products. In light these changes, this review will describe more detail dynamics registration insecticides difficulties agrochemical industries encounter. Subsequently, alternative based on natural substances origin, entomopathogenic microorganisms, semiochemical semiophysical compounds, classical augmentative biological be described. advantages illustrated constrains their diffusion commercialisation. Finally, main biotechnological discoveries described, from transgenic plants symbiotic control, genetic and, recently, insect genomic transformation or RNAi. These biotechnologies revolutionise sector despite some related restrictions present countries.
