Recently, there has been growing interest by farmers and researchers in various agroecological approaches enhancing biodiversity conservation including the use of natural herbicides derived from fungi to provide adequate weed control. This change is driven concerns about herbicide resistance, environmental impacts regulatory requirements. review summarizes results studies highlights efficacy benefits fungal bioherbicides Fungi-based utilize suppression capability selected reduce density competitiveness without completely eradicating plants such an approach at core agroecology. Bioherbicides contribute providing environmentally friendly alternative chemical herbicides. By reducing reliance on synthetic chemicals, help preserve soil health, water quality protect non-target species, beneficial organisms as pollinators microbes. They also promote selectively targeting specific leaving native other unharmed favoring diversified flora dominance a few species. Despite their promising potential, face several challenges, delayed action, production difficulties potential toxicity certain toxins mammals. adoption eco-friendly component Integrated Weed Management (IWM). Further research necessary identify optimal strains for controlling persistent weeds putting risk overall develop improved formulations enhanced efficacy.
