Abstract

Our need for agricultural production is progressively increasing as a result of the growing global population. It has become more important than ever to eliminate the conditions that affect plant ecosystem adversely, such as pathogenic microorganisms and insects that affect plant health. This has led to a steady rise in our reliance on agrochemicals, which are used to eliminate these unfavorable conditions and are now the most crucial tool for plant protection. These agrochemicals, which can adversely affect both agricultural products and the ecosystem, are not the eventual solution to our problems, and may lose their effectiveness over time since the target organisms develop resistance. Furthermore, the toxic effects of chemical residues in food have significantly changed the communities' consensus on chemicals, leading to studies for alternative solutions.
