“…Essential Oils (EOs) distilled from aromatic and medicinal plants (AMP) are used in foods, personal care products, cosmetics, aromatherapy sectors, and in products such as detergents, biological pesticides, soaps, concentrates, extracts, additives, etc. (Barbieri and Borsotto, 2018;Eikani et al 2007;Jisha et al 2017;El-Alam et al 2020;Raveau et al 2020). High-value EOs are traded worldwide and the market is expected to grow (Barbieri and Borsotto, 2018).…”

“…The residues of distillation as well as the remaining plant parts could be integrated to the value chain if they are beneficially reused. On uncontaminated soil, biomass residues are commonly used as animal fodder, composts and for energy production (Jisha et al 2017). To our knowledge, on polluted soils, the feasibility of such an overall value chain, i.e.…”

Phytomanagement uses plants and soil conditioners to create value on contaminated land while minimising environmental risk. This work was carried out on a metal(loid)-contaminated site and aimed at assessing the suitability of Salvia sclarea L. (sage) and Coriandrum sativum L. (coriander) combined with an Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungus (AMF) inoculant to immobilise metal(loid)s and produce essential oils (EO). The effect of the inoculant on the transfer of metal(loid)s (ML, i.e. Cd, Cu, Pb, Zn, As, Ni, and Sb) to plants and the ML soil mobility were investigated. The ML concentrations in EO from both plant species and the valorisation options for the distillation residues (soil conditioner, animal fodder, and anaerobic digestion) were studied. Sage was a suitable candidate for this value chain because it presents an excluder phenotype and the residues of oil extraction could be used as a soil conditioner. The metal concentrations in the sage EO were similar to those obtained from plants cultivated on an uncontaminated soil. These results indicate the suitability of sage harvested on the contaminated soil according to the ML fate in the whole value chain. Like the EO of sage, ML concentrations in the coriander 2 EO did not differ from those in the commercial EO that were obtained from plants grown on uncontaminated soil.However, the use of distillation residues of coriander was limited by their relatively elevated Cd concentrations.The use of a mycorrhizal inoculum did not decrease the Cd mobility in soil for the coriander.

“…Former studies have demonstrated that both EOs and aromatic water may possess antiphytoviral activity [ 80 ], but the physicochemical properties of soil and root exudates can also influence the migration and location of these organisms [ 74 ]. Due to their phytoremediation potential, several aromatic and medicinal plants are also used for the remediation of heavily contaminated soil by accumulating and removing organic and inorganic contaminants [ 201 ].…”

Soil-borne phytopathogens can have detrimental effects on both cereal and horticultural crops resulting in serious losses worldwide. Due to their high efficiency and easy applicability, synthetic pesticides are still the primary choice in modern plant disease control systems, but stringent regulations and increasing environmental concerns make the search for sustainable alternatives more pressing than ever. In addition to the incorporation of botanicals into agricultural practices, the diversification of cropping systems with aromatic and medicinal plants is also an effective tool to control plant diseases through providing nutrients and shaping soil microbial communities. However, these techniques are not universally accepted and may negatively affect soil fertility if their application is not thoroughly controlled. Because the biocontrol potential of aromatic and medicinal plants has been extensively examined over the past decades, the present study aims to overview the recent literature concerning the biopesticide effect of secondary metabolites derived from aromatic and medicinal plants on important soil-borne plant pathogens including bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Most of the investigated herbs belong to the family of Lamiaceae (e.g., Origanum spp., Salvia spp., Thymus spp., Mentha spp., etc.) and have been associated with potent antimicrobial activity, primarily due to their chemical constituents. The most frequently tested organisms include fungi, such as Rhizoctonia spp., Fusarium spp., and Phytophthora spp., which may be highly persistent in soil. Despite the intense research efforts dedicated to the development of plant-based pesticides, only a few species of aromatic herbs are utilized for the production of commercial formulations due to inconsistent efficiency, lack of field verification, costs, and prolonged authorization requirements. However, recycling the wastes from aromatic and medicinal plant-utilizing industries may offer an economically feasible way to improve soil health and reduce environmental burdens at the same time. Overall, this review provides comprehensive knowledge on the efficiency of aromatic herb-based plant protection techniques, and it also highlights the importance of exploiting the residues generated by aromatic plant-utilizing sectors as part of agro-industrial processes.

“…Identifying the appropriate plant to remove pollutants is a crucial step in phytoremediation. Aromatic and medicinal herbs can be utilised to clean up polluted locations since metals are less likely to be transferred from the soil to the essential oil or change its composition [21]. Sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum), a medicinal, aromatic herb, is high in minerals and Vitamin A.…”

The continuous expansion in the textile industry results in high loads of coloured wastewaters that heavily pollute the limited freshwater sources. Therefore, a wide array of treatment methods has been used to remediate water/wastewater from dyes. One common practice is the use of plants to degrade, absorb, metabolise, and detoxify different types of pollutants, including dyes. This study employs sweet basil (Ocimum basilicum) as a phytoremediation model herb to remove different concentrations (5–25 mg/L) of methylene blue (MB) dye from synthetic water, taking into account the effects of the MB dye concentration (5–25 mg/L) and contact time (up to 10 days). The results showed that the ability of Ocimum basilicum to absorb MB dye decreased with the increase of the MB dye concentration and increased with the increase of the contact time. The best removal of the MB dye was 93% when the concentration of the MB dye was 25 mg/L and the contact time was 10 days. Additionally, it was noticed that the relative growth rate (RGR) of the herbs was adversely influenced by increasing MB dye concentrations and that the best RGR value was 2.2 g/day when the MB dye concentration was 5 mg/L.
