Phytopesticides are human-friendly beside been easily accessible and bio-degradable, are therefore environmentally friendly compared to the synthetic pesticides which huge adverse effects on human, animals and the ecosystem. Plants are large reservoir of secondary metabolites largely untapped or under-tapped for use as pesticides. One problem associated with this is to identify plants which can be assessed and further exploited for this use. belongs to , it is native to South Americas but gained popularity globally. It is known as a weed, showing resistance to many synthetic pesticides and can be grown on a wide range of soil types. is used traditionally against skin diseases such as eczema, infectious dermatitis and scabies Its antimicrobial application is large and efficient as revealed by most authors. This article inclines to propose and offer current studies with information on the various application of this plant species against various microorganisms, thereby extending its use against plant parasitic nematodes which cause severe yield losses to numerous agricultural crops. Most search engines, journals and dissertation search engines i.e. Google scholar, pubmed, sciencedirect, scopus, web of science, springer, elsevier, like Open-thesis, OATD, ProQuest and EthOs were queried by employing titles such as , and biological activity of . The most synonymous name was queried too i.e. . This review suggests a main point about this resistant weed i.e. its significant antimicrobial activity. It further emphases the need exploits this useful effect against nematodes since they are microorganisms. Phytochemistry of the was gathered in this study and the compounds isolated from the plant i.e. terpenes, iridoids, flavonoids and alkaloids (29 compounds) further provide a basis for a significant antihelmintic effect. The review concludes on the need to extends its antimicrobial activity to sustainable agriculture. Since it is a very common plant in Nigeria, it is easily accessible to farmer protect their cultivations from plant-parasitic nematode attacks.
植物农药除了易于获取和可生物降解外，对人类也很友好，因此与对人类、动物和生态系统有巨大负面影响的合成农药相比，它对环境更友好。植物是次生代谢产物的巨大储存库，很大程度上未被开发或开发不足，可用于制作农药。与此相关的一个问题是确定哪些植物可以被评估并进一步用于此用途。[植物名称]属于[所属类别]，原产于南美洲，但在全球范围内广受欢迎。它被认为是一种杂草，对许多合成农药具有抗性，并且可以在多种土壤类型上生长。传统上，[植物名称]被用于治疗皮肤病，如湿疹、传染性皮炎和疥疮。正如大多数作者所揭示的那样，它的抗菌应用广泛且有效。本文倾向于提出并提供当前的研究，介绍该植物物种对各种微生物的不同应用信息，从而扩大其在防治对许多农作物造成严重产量损失的植物寄生线虫方面的用途。通过使用诸如“[植物名称]的[相关研究主题]”、“[植物名称]的[相关研究主题]”和“[植物名称]的生物活性”等标题，对大多数搜索引擎、期刊和论文搜索引擎（即谷歌学术、PubMed、ScienceDirect、Scopus、科学网、Springer、Elsevier，如Open-thesis（开放论文）、OATD（开放获取论文数据库）、ProQuest和EthOs）进行了查询。还查询了最同义的名称，即[同义名称]。这篇综述提出了关于这种抗性杂草的一个要点，即其显著的抗菌活性。它进一步强调了利用这种有益效果来对抗线虫的必要性，因为线虫是微生物。本研究收集了[植物名称]的植物化学信息，从该植物中分离出的化合物，即萜类、环烯醚萜类、黄酮类和生物碱（29种化合物），进一步为显著的驱虫效果提供了依据。综述得出结论，需要将其抗菌活性扩展到可持续农业。由于它在尼日利亚是一种非常常见的植物，农民很容易获取它来保护他们的作物免受植物寄生线虫的侵害。
