Perspective Chapter: Perspectives on Pathogenic Plant Virus Control with Essential Oils for Sustainability of Agriculture 4.0

Abstract

The outbreaks of plant pathogenic viruses and insect pests affect agricultural product supply chain systems. Environmentally friendly innovative technologies are provided accurate, practical, and acceptable means for surveillance by farmers. The bioactive compound applications are derived from plant essential oils with antiviral activities as well as integrating insect pest control and management are useful choices. Successful comprehensive planning, including material production systems, extraction techniques, quality testing, and product creation are essential for strategic and operational decision-making under current operation management trends of Agriculture 4.0. This information can potentially be used to impel today agriculture and set the directions for supports. The role of management and data analysis will meet the challenges of increasing populations and food security with the ultimate goal to achieve efficient and sustainable effectiveness for all participants in directing the world agricultural systems.

A Novel Platform for Root Protection Applies New Root-Coating Technologies to Mitigate Soil-Borne Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus Disease

“…In addition, the presence of organic ingredients in the root debris reduced the efficiency of chlorinated disinfectants [ 42 , 43 ], which were included in the root coating formulations. Several of the disinfectants that were used in the formulations were already known as effective against tobamoviruses such as TSP [ 2 , 44 , 45 ], Cl-TSP [ 35 ], NaDCC [ 28 , 35 ] and Thymol [ 46 ]. Copper is also known to have antiviral properties in general [ 47 ].…”
