Phytotoxic Effects of Plant Essential Oils: A Systematic Review and Structure-Activity Relationship Based on Chemometric Analyses

Plants, 2020
Herbicides are natural or synthetic chemicals used to control unwanted plants (weeds). To avoid the harmful effects of synthetic herbicides, considerable effort has been devoted to finding alternative products derived from natural sources. Essential oils

Allelopathic Sugarcane Leaf Litter and Its Potential Use as Soil Mulching for Weed Management in Sugarcane Cultivation

Weed Research, Volume 66, Issue 1, January/February 2026.
ABSTRACT Sugarcane leaves, both green and fallen, left after harvest, are agricultural residues containing compounds that inhibit weed germination and seedling growth. This study evaluated their allelopathic effects and mulching potential for weed control.

Allelochemicals as Bioherbicides — Present and Perspectives [PDF]

, 2013
Since the first implementation of synthetic herbicides in crop protection systems, weeds have continuously developed resistance. As a main reason of such evolution, long-lasting exploi‐ tation of herbicides with one target site in plants is considered.

Multifaceted Study of Medicago marina Essential Oil: Chemical Composition, Antidiabetic, and Phytotoxic Insights via In Vitro and In Silico Approaches

Chemistry &Biodiversity, Volume 22, Issue 12, December 2025.
ABSTRACT The essential oil of Medicago marina was subjected to analysis at vegetative and reproductive stages of development, with a particular emphasis on its chemical composition, α‐amylase inhibition, and allelopathic activities. The results of the gas chromatography and molecular docking studies demonstrated alterations in oil yield and composition

Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides as potential bioactive agents: synthesis and computational study

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 12, Page 7995-8006, December 2025.
Epoxy tetrahydrophthalimides were synthesized and evaluated for phytotoxic activity. Some compounds showed greater inhibition than S‐metolachlor against Sorghum bicolor. Docking studies indicated interaction with mitogen‐activated protein kinase, suggesting it as a potential target.

Strategic techniques for upgrading bio‐oil from fast pyrolysis: a critical review

Biofuels, Bioproducts and Biorefining, Volume 19, Issue 6, Page 2457-2473, November/December 2025.
Abstract Pyrolysis has been the subject of extensive scientific research due to its potential application to various waste streams and byproducts from different production systems. One of its main products is the liquid fraction known as bio‐oil – a complex material composed of a wide variety of organic molecules and a significant water content.

Growth inhibition of arable weeds by cerato‐platanin, a plant immune defense activator of fungal origin

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 10, Page 6255-6264, October 2025.
Plants possess an innate immune system able to detect pathogens' molecules such as cerato‐platanin (CP), a protein produced by the fungus Ceratocystis platani. This study shows that the application of this protein elicitor to weeds can be exploited as a novel herbicide mode of action.

RNAi technology development for weed control: all smoke and no fire?

Pest Management Science, Volume 81, Issue 7, Page 3430-3436, July 2025.
Despite the potential of Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing in weed management several critical points such as molecular target, weed species of interest as well as delivery techniques need to be addressed. Abstract RNA interference (RNAi) technology, specifically Spray‐Induced Gene Silencing (SIGS), holds potential as an innovative approach for selective ...

Biological Flora of Britain and Ireland: Cytisus scoparius*

Journal of Ecology, Volume 113, Issue 7, Page 1877-1933, July 2025.
Broom is an attractive and common native plant across Britain, Ireland and most of Europe, and yet it is considered a harmful and invasive weed around the rest of the world. This is aided by broom thriving on poor dry soils, helped by using green stems for photosynthesis and having root nodules to fix nitrogen.

Biology, Ecology, Distribution and Management of Large Crabgrass (Digitaria sanguinalis)

Weed Research, Volume 65, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Digitaria sanguinalis (L.) Scop. (large crabgrass) is a globally distributed annual C4 grass and one of the most challenging weeds in agriculture, causing significant yield losses in crops such as maize, soyabean, rice, cotton and vegetables. This species thrives under favourable and unfavourable conditions such as disturbed soils, fluctuating
