Stored grains are an integral part of human food. However, all such stored grains are affected by a variety of insects. Across several countries all over the world, insect pests cause significant harm to stockpiled grain crops, resulting in large post-harvest wastage, spoiling, and decreased market demands, resulting in a massive financial catastrophe. Food loss prevention during post-harvest stockpiling is of significant economic relevance. Although efficient and dependable, various disadvantages of synthetic chemicals, such as their negative impacts on both human beings and the environment, have prompted agriculturists to explore an alternative strategy that is potent, eco-friendly, and affordable. As a result, proper management of stored product infestations is required to protect stored grains from pest species. Insecticidal capabilities are reported to be present in a variety of bioactive phytochemical components. They might be used as an alternative to chemical pesticides. According to the current studies, bioactive phytochemical substances might be a potential source of novel insecticides. As a result, plant-derived insecticidal phytochemicals have significant potential. This study concentrates on the phytochemistry and mode of action of bioactive phytochemical constituents for stored grain insect pest management.
