Plants their product and by-products are the good remedy of worst agricultural environment. The need of the day is to sustain food production which will mention the cycle of input-output and ecosystem balance. Thousands of plant species reported to have pest management properties. Only 10% of which have been examined chemically. The secondary metabolites present in the plants, protect the plants from pests and pathogens. Despite, the most exploited pesticidal promising plant and their by-product is neem in which bioactive components “azadirachtin” is found. The alternatives of synthetic fertilizers viz. green manure, crop/plant residues, industrial wastes proved in sustaining soil fertility and productivity at greater extent. Identification and use of indicator plants for waste lands are very helpful for their optimum use and their gradual transformation into productive soil.
