Abstract Endophytic fungi, which live inside plant tissues without causing symptoms of disease, produce a variety bioactive secondary metabolites. These metabolites have applications in biopesticide development, providing eco-friendly alternatives to conventional protection products (PPPs). This study explores the nematicidal and insecticidal properties ethyl acetate (EtOAc) extracts from endophytic fungi isolated wild populations Arabidopsis thaliana central Spain. The effects these against plant-parasitic nematode Meloidogyne javanica , as well two common pest insects ( Myzus persicae Spodoptera littoralis ) were studied. Our results showed that 9 out 13 exhibited significant and/or activity, indicating their potential. Chemical analysis through GC-MS LC-MS revealed active contained great mostly extract-exclusive metabolites, rich chemical diversity was independent activity extract or origin fungal isolate. work highlights importance exploration into produced by endophytes, particularly those model plants like A. . research lays groundwork for future studies aimed at harnessing source products, contributing sustainable agricultural practices improved crop methods.
