“…The production of these defensive phytocompounds can be categorized as constitutive (phytoanticipins) or induced (phytoalexins) in which the presence of exogenous organisms or compounds can signal the induction of plant immune responses and defensive measures [ 4 , 20 , 21 ]. As global trends in pesticide use gradually shift away from conventional approaches, biopesticides and phytochemical pesticides are emerging as promising and more-sustainable alternatives [ 5 , 6 , 7 , 22 , 23 , 24 , 25 , 26 , 27 ] in conjunction with diverse application methods such as seed coating techniques [ 8 , 9 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 ]. Notably, the application of phytochemical or botanical nematicides [ 6 , 7 , 24 , 26 , 28 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 , 42 , 43 , 44 ] has garnered increasing research interest due to their attractive qualities over conventional pesticides, such as lower toxicity, higher target specificity, lower environmental persistence, and biodegradability [ 6 ].…”
