Abstract
The extensive use of chemical pesticides poses risks to the environment and human health due to the toxicity and poor bio
degradability. Alternative natural practices, including the use of natural molecules, are needed to achieve more sustainable
production methods to meet consumer and societal expectations. Plants contain a wide range of potential phytochemicals
that target a specific target, are rapidly biodegradable, are environmentally friendly, and have a variety of therapeutic effects,
making them a treasure trove of biological materials.
