Natural pesticides and allelochemicals are used for protection against invasive plants, but when released into the environment they can have both positive and negative effects on plants. This book discusses a holistic and sustainable approach that balances effective pest management with minimizing environmental impacts, promoting biodiversity, and ensuring food safety and quality. It brings together proposals to help improve the quality of management and production of healthier foods utilizing compounds of natural origin. The authors provide a broad and diverse picture of the applications of terpenoids in plant safety and the possibilities for innovative biotechnological approaches for their extraction.

Features:

  • Presents a comprehensive resource on recent advances in natural pesticides and new allelochemicals for crop protection
  • Discusses natural herbicides, sustainable agriculture, and bioeconomic processes
  • Explains the challenges of synthetic pesticides and their costs to human and environmental health
  • Covers different aspects of natural pesticides such as their sources, development, application, and toxicity
  • Helps professionals and scholars involved in chemical technology, biotechnology, and agriculture gain a thorough understanding of crop protection practices tailored to specific crop types, regional conditions, and pest pressure

This is a great reference for researchers, academics, students, and professionals involved with or interested in agriculture and the environment, pest control, environmental chemistry, biology, food science, and forest engineering.
