As a result of the increasing environmental and health-related problems caused by the synthetic agrochemicals currently used, suitable and non-hazardous innovative alternatives are being sought. Antagonism and allelopathy, both in nature and in agro-ecosystems, have attracted these researchers' attention, with the main goal of using these phenomena in the biological control of weeds. This article presents a review on the use and efficacy of microbial secondary metabolites which have potential as natural herbicides, either directly or as templates for bio-rational eco-friendly agrochemicals (allelochemicals). Their merits as alternatives to synthetic chemicals and biological control agents have been highlighted for an holistic approach in integrated pest/weed management.
由于目前使用的合成农用化学品导致的环境和健康相关问题日益增加,人们正在寻找合适且无害的创新替代品。自然界和农业生态系统中的拮抗作用和化感作用引起了这些研究人员的关注,其主要目标是将这些现象用于杂草的生物防治。本文综述了微生物次生代谢产物作为天然除草剂的用途和功效,这些次生代谢产物可直接作为天然除草剂,也可作为生物合理的生态友好型农用化学品(化感物质)的模板。在有害生物/杂草综合管理的整体方法中,它们作为合成化学品和生物防治剂替代品的优点得到了强调。
