natural-pesticides
Natural pesticides are substances derived from biological sources — including plants, microorganisms, and other organisms — that suppress or eliminate pest populations without relying on synthetic chemicals. In plant science, understanding how plants produce and respond to these compounds is central to research on plant defense mechanisms, secondary metabolite biosynthesis, and the co-evolution of plants and their pests. This field drives the development of sustainable agricultural strategies that leverage innate plant chemistry to protect crops while minimizing ecological disruption.
