Via Air or Rhizosphere: The Phytotoxicity of Nepeta Essential Oils and Malus Dihydrochalcones

Plants, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 14(5), С. 701 - 701

Опубликована: Фев. 25, 2025

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.

Viticulture generates significant pruning wastes, which can be valorized as bioherbicides for sustainable weed management, and a means to advance the circular economy. Allelopathy, an environmentally friendly approach in plants release secondary metabolites that suppress growth of other species, presents managing agricultural systems. Our study aimed assess whether biotic (grapevine variety mycorrhization) abiotic (atmospheric CO₂ level, air temperature or water availability) factors influence accumulation grapevine (Vitis vinifera L.) wastes their allelopathic effects on three cosmopolitan weeds (Sisymbrium irio, Solanum nigrum Sonchus oleraceus). Two varieties, Tempranillo Cabernet Sauvignon, inoculated (M) not (NM) with mycorrhizal fungi, were grown under two environmental conditions: CATA (current conditions i.e., 400 ppm ambient temperature) CETE (700 + 4˚C). Within each condition, half M NM subjected either full irrigation (WW) (90–100% substrate field capacity, FC) limited (D) (cycles from 90–100% 20–30% FC). Characterization methanolic extracts revealed variations phenolics, flavonoids, flavonols, anthocyanins across treatments, higher free radical scavenging activity elevated CO₂ conditions. variety, compounds was also influenced by level presence absence root-associated fungi. Aqueous leaves used germination bioassays strongly inhibited seed seedling weeds, pronounced observed S. irio. The these contributes effect, highlighting potential waste alternative synthetic herbicides. However, further studies are needed determine optimal extract concentrations crops

Isolation of Metabolites Produced by Phoma dimorpha Under Submerged Fermentation and Its Evaluation as a Bioherbicide

Processes, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 13(5), С. 1488 - 1488

Опубликована: Май 13, 2025

Weeds are a significant challenge to global agricultural production, significantly impacting crop yields. The evolution of resistance synthetic herbicides, along with their adverse environmental effects, underscores the need for alternative control strategies. This study reports purification, and evaluation herbicidal activity metabolite produced by Phoma dimorpha (NRRL 43879) via submerged fermentation. To best our knowledge, this is first report on potential metabolites isolated from cultivation microorganism. Metabolites extracted ethyl acetate were fractionated into three fractions, only one showing activity. Fraction 1 controlled 96.25% Amaranthus retroflexus plants in leaf puncture bioassay at 2 mg mL−1 96.67% when applied aerial parts 600 µg 0.1% Tween 80. purified compound was also tested Raphanus sativus seed germination, reducing rates 80% 26% 24.5 12.25 mL−1, respectively. Seedling length decreased 31% under same treatments. These results highlight as sustainable weed management, supporting development novel bioherbicides.
