Many specialized metabolites found in plants have significant potential for developing environmentally friendly weed management solutions. This review focuses on the phytotoxic effects of volatile terpenes and phenolic compounds, particularly nepetalactone, an iridoid monoterpenoid from Nepeta species, phloretin, a dihydrochalcone predominantly genus Malus. We highlight current findings their herbicidal effects, including morphological, physiological, biochemical responses target plants. These results underscore sustainable herbicides that could control weeds with minimal environmental impact. also discuss soil persistence methods to enhance solubility, chemical stability, bioavailability. Additionally, possible non-target organisms, such as pollinators, non-pollinating insects, microbiota, are considered. However, further research deeper understanding long-term ecological impact, along resistance development risk assessment, is essential bioherbicides be applied practices.
