“…Besides, it can increase weed resistance to phytochemicals (Jabran et al, 2015;Ahmed et al, 2017). For these reasons, scientists are working on the identification of a biological solution that can minimize the impacts of synthetic herbicides in agricultural production (Morra et al, 2018;Sbai et al, 2016;Chengxu et al, 2011). This solution could offer a number of benefits such as increased target specificity and rapid degradation of the active substance (Cordeau et al, 2016).…”

The need to reduce the use of chemical pesticides currently fosters great interest in eco-friendly biological control agents. In addition, the isolation of plant allelopathic substances and the evaluation of their phytotoxic effects can lead to the discovery of new natural herbicides. In this context, our study aimed to assess the herbicidal activity of ten crude extracts obtained from aerial parts of Tunisian spontaneous plants against Trifolium incarnatum, Silybum marianum and Phalaris minor. It confirmed that the Cynara cardunculus methanolic extract best inhibited weed germination and seedling growth, and caused necrosis or chlorosis. Following a bioassay-guided fractionation, five main phenolic compounds, (1) syringic acid, (2) p-coumaric acid, (3) myricitrin, (4) quercetin and (5) naringenin were identified in the most active crude methanolic extract. Then, only 3 of the flavonoids contained in the most active fraction were tested on Trifolium incarnatum. The 3 compounds had a significant phytotoxic effect and therefore could be employed in a new composition of botanical herbicides to control crop weeds. Besides, a novel herbicide composition was designed to improve the post-emergence activity of the methanolic extract. The formulation containing the C. cardunculus crude methanolic extract showed the same herbicidal activity as the standard industrial bioherbicide containing pelargonic acid. These results make C. cardunculus a suitable source of natural compounds potentially usable as natural herbicides.

“…In particular, glucosinates provide benefits to human health by reducing risk for degenerative diseases but also in plant health by inducing resistance to insects and pathogens [ 65 ]. Morra et al [ 66 ] and Konecka et al [ 67 ] demonstrated the herbicidal and insecticidal activity of seed meal and oil, respectively, from Sinapis alba L.…”

The development and implementation of safe natural alternatives to synthetic pesticides are urgent needs that will provide ecological solutions for the control of plant diseases, bacteria, viruses, nematodes, pests, and weeds to ensure the economic stability of farmers and food security, as well as protection of the environment and human health. Unambiguously, production of botanical pesticides will allow for the sustainable and efficient use of natural resources and finally decrease the use of chemical inputs and burden. This is further underlined by the strict regulations on pesticide residues in agricultural products and is in harmony with the Farm to Fork strategy, which aims to reduce pesticide use by 50% by 2030. Thus, the present work aims to compile the scientific knowledge of the last 5 years (2017–February 2023) regarding the Mediterranean plants that present biopesticidal effects. The literature review revealed 40 families of Mediterranean plants with at least one species that have been investigated as potential biopesticides. However, only six families had the highest number of species, and they were reviewed comprehensively in this study. Following a systematic approach, the extraction methods, chemical composition, biopesticidal activity, and commonly used assays for evaluating the antimicrobial, pesticidal, repellant, and herbicidal activity of plant extracts, as well as the toxicological and safety aspects of biopesticide formulation, are discussed in detail. Finally, the aspects that have not yet been investigated or are under-investigated and future perspectives are highlighted.

“…The major glucosinolate in the yellow mustard Sinapis alba is sinalbin, which produces ionic thiocyanate SCN-, a phytotoxic biocidal product [237]. SCN-is ineffective against wireworms [238,239], and is known primarily for its herbicidal effects [240,241]. In the brown mustard Brassica juncea, sinigrin hydrolyzes to produce the volatile 2-propenyl isothiocyanate, a product with proven efficacy against insect pests such as wireworms [242].…”

Integrated Pest Management of Wireworms (Coleoptera: Elateridae) and the Rhizosphere in Agroecosystems

The rhizosphere is where plant roots, physical soil, and subterranean organisms interact to contribute to soil fertility and plant growth. In agroecosystems, the nature of the ecological interactions within the rhizosphere is highly dynamic due to constant disruptions from agricultural practices. The concept of integrated pest management (IPM) was developed in order to promote an approach which is complementary to the environment and non-target organisms, including natural enemies, by reducing the sole reliance on synthetic pesticides to control pests. However, some of the implemented integrated cultural and biological control practices may impact the rhizosphere, especially when targeting subterranean pests. Wireworms, the larval stage of click beetles (Coleoptera: Elateridae), are generalist herbivores and a voracious group of pests that are difficult to control. This paper introduces some existing challenges in wireworm IPM, and discusses the potential impacts of various control methods on the rhizosphere. The awareness of the potential implications of different pest management approaches on the rhizosphere will assist in decision-making and the selection of the control tactics with the least long-term adverse effects on the rhizosphere.
