This review article is a comprehensive and current overview on chalcones, covering their sources, identification methods, and properties with a particular focus on their applications in the agricultural sector. The widespread use of synthetic pesticides has not only led to increased resistance among weeds and pests, resulting in economic losses, but it has also raised significant health concerns due to the overuse of these chemicals. In line with the European Green Deal 2030 and its Farm to Fork strategy, there is a targeted 50% reduction in the use of chemical pesticides by 2030, emphasizing a shift towards natural alternatives that are more environmentally sustainable and help in the restoration of natural resources. Chalcones and their derivatives, with their herbicidal, fungicidal, bactericidal, and antiviral properties, appear to be ideal candidates. These naturally occurring compounds have been recognized for their beneficial health effects for many years and have applications across multiple areas. This review not only complements the previous literature on the agricultural use of chalcones but also provides updates and introduces methods of detection such as chromatography and MALDI technique.
这篇综述文章全面介绍了查耳酮，涵盖了它们的来源、鉴定方法和特性，特别关注了它们在农业领域的应用。广泛使用合成农药不仅导致杂草和害虫产生了抗药性，造成了经济损失，而且由于过度使用这些化学物质，还引发了严重的健康问题。为了实现 2030 年欧洲绿色协议和其“从农场到餐桌”战略的目标，计划到 2030 年将化学农药的使用减少 50%，强调转向更环保、有助于恢复自然资源的天然替代品。查耳酮及其衍生物具有除草、杀菌、杀菌和抗病毒特性，似乎是理想的候选物。这些天然存在的化合物多年来因其对健康的有益影响而受到认可，并在多个领域得到应用。本综述不仅补充了之前关于查耳酮在农业中应用的文献，还提供了更新内容，并介绍了色谱法和 MALDI 技术等检测方法。
