It is reported that the worldwide demands for crops and biomass exceed their supply due to the rapid growth of world population, limitation of cultivation areas, global warming, climate change and subsequent lack of water supply. Crop protection agents have played an important role in promoting productivity of crops yields and biomass. However, for some crop protection agents environmental safety issues and reports of the occurring resistant plant/insect to the introduced agrochemical are increasing. To overcome such problem, recently, researches for the development of new crop protection agents based on greenbio-technology such as searching for new potent molecules from natural resources (plant or microorganism derived organic compounds) and invention of agrochemical molecules with new mode of action as target for resistance control are being carried out actively. In this report the following topics such as development of new herbicides for resistant weeds, development of new insecticides for crop protection, and development of new LOHAS-based biochemical crop protection agents will be discussed.
