Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Natural products from plant extracts and essential oils constitute an effective alternative for managing agricultural pests and diseases since they have a variety of biological activities, such as insecticides, antifeedants, deterrents, antimicrobials, etc.
Many natural compounds are used to manage pests and diseases, such as alkaloids, terpenoids, flavonoids, phenylpropanoids, and glycosides, among others, which can be different extraction processes.
This Special Issue aims to increase knowledge about natural extracts' composition and extraction process, their identification methods, their mechanism of action, and their activity against agricultural pests and diseases.
