“…Thus, new plant protection methods should be developed in a way that minimizes the cost of crop production (Głąb et al 2017). Given the above-stated reasons, the imperative is finding an optimal solution that would simplify the procedures and enable the development of new bioherbicides with a competitive price acceptable to agricultural producers and thus increase their application (Šunjka and Mechora 2022).…”

The sustainable management of the environment and crop production in modern agriculture involves dealing with challenges from climate change, environmental pollution, depletion of natural resources, as well as pressure to cope with dependence on agricultural inputs. Balancing crop productivity with environmental sustainability is one of the main challenges for agriculture worldwide. The emergence of weeds resistant to synthetic herbicides generates huge economic losses, so unconventional weed control strategies, especially those based on ecological principles, are very much needed in modern agriculture. Incorporating a natural eco-friendly approach—allelopathy—as a tool in an integrated weed control plan by growing specific crops or spraying fields with extracts containing allelopathic compounds can significantly reduce the use of herbicides. Allelopathy is considered a multi-dimensional phenomenon occurring constantly in natural and anthropogenic ecosystems, by which one organism produces biochemicals that influence the growth, survival, development, and reproduction of other organisms. The objective of this systematic literature review is to present a comprehensive overview of allelopathy, define this phenomenon, and classify allelochemicals. This paper also discusses and highlights recent advances, ongoing research, and prospects on plant allelopathy management practices applied in agriculture, and the underlying allelopathic mechanisms. The review suggested the holistic view of some allelochemicals as an ecological approach to integrated weed control and is an important contribution to future research directions of multidisciplinary programs, chemoinformatic tools, and novel biotechnology methods to plant breeding.

“…Inherently distinguished from conventional pesticides, biopesticides comprise three major categories [ 79 , 80 ]: Biochemical pest control agents or biochemical pesticides (e.g., botanical pesticides, essential oils, pheromones, hormones, natural plant growth regulators, enzymes, minerals, etc. ); Microbial pest control agents or microbiological pesticides (e.g., microorganisms); Macrobiological pest control agents or macrobiological pesticides (e.g., beneficial insects, parasitoids and entomopathogenic nematodes).…”

The environmental pollution that occurs in direct response to the widespread use of man-made/conventional pesticides results from many chemicals that require a long period of time, often decades, to degrade. The synthetic nature of pesticides also harms animals, beneficial insects, microorganisms, and plants, as well as humans. Fortunately, however, there are many natural pesticides, the so-called biopesticides, that are also effective against pests and more importantly, do not interfere with the well-being of ecosystems. Consequently, most biopesticides are safer for use around people and pets than man-made pesticides because, for example, they can be easily washed away from fruits and vegetables. The natural habitat is a rich resource with a wide selection of plants, many of which are also used to treat diseases in humans, animals, and plants. Out of concern for public health, environmental safety, and the stringent regulation of pesticide residues in agricultural commodities, the use of biopesticides is becoming increasingly important, but questions regarding potential pest resistance to these products may arise, just as is the case with conventional pesticides. Therefore, the performance and potential role of biopesticides in the management of plant pests should be prioritized due to their sustainability and importance to human and environmental welfare. In this review, we propose to highlight a scenario in which we discuss in detail the main constraints posed by the use of pesticides compared to biopesticides, starting with issues regarding their definition and continuing on to issues related to their toxicity and their impact on the environment and human health.

“…The main pests of Edamame soybean plants are Bemissia tabaci, Spodoptera litura, Ophiomyia phaseoli, Lamprosema indicata F., Etiella zinckenella Tr., Chrysodeixis chalcites Esp [20] To increase crop yields, farmers currently use insecticides intensively, which causes an increase in pesticide residues, having a negative impact on human health [24].…”

Purpose of the research to improve the quality and toxicity of husk charcoal liquid smoke which is effective and selective in controlling edamame soybean plant pests, safe for predatory and pollinators arthropods, and does not contain the dangerous compound Benzo(a)pyrene. The resulting product can be used as a substitute for synthetic insecticides which are non-selective and unsafe for predators, pollinators and human health. The technique used was to set the temperature of the pyrolysis process between 200-300°C to produce grade 3 and distillation of grade 3 to grade 2 with a temperature of 80-100°C. Research was carried out at Jember State Polytechnic, from August to September 2023. The observation parameters were content of grade 3 and grade 2 compounds using GCMS, Bioassay tests against S. litura 3rd instar using concentrations of 0%, 1%. 2%, 3%, 4% and 5% each for 10 test insects, with 3 repetitions, using the feed immersion method. LC50 and LC95 test used PoloPlus 1.0. Field tests compared arthropod diversity, grade 3, grade 2 and Imidacloprid treatments, using the Kruskal-Wallis test. The diversity index uses the Shannon-Wiener (H’) and Sympson Dominance Index (C’) formulas. Conclusion LC95 grade 3 was 3%, Grade 2 was 4%. Both were not found Benzo(a)pyrene. The grade 3 pest population was not significantly different compared to Imidacloprid. Grade 3 and grade 2 predators and pollinators were higher than Imidacloprid, the diversity of Grade 3, grade 2 and Imidacloprid treatments were moderate diversity, balanced ecosystem and no species dominance found.
