Physiological action of bioherbicides in weed control: a systematic review

Frontiers in Agronomy
IntroductionBioherbicides are naturally derived substances that can be used to control weeds. Bioherbicide compounds can be alternatives to synthetic herbicides and are key resources for the discovery of novel molecules and modes of action (MOA) for weed

Stability studies of cynaropicrin–major sesquiterpene lactone of Cynara cardunculus leaves

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 9, Page 8820-8830, September 2026.
This study investigated its stability under high temperature and pH, mimicking agronomic extremes and under soil context. Bioassays demonstrated that degradation products exhibited higher phytotoxic activity than cynaropicrin and deacylcynaropicrin. This is the first study about cynaropicrin's stability, characterizing degradation products, and their ...
