AI Article Synopsis
- Synthetic chemical pesticides have traditionally boosted crop yields but face restrictions due to health and environmental concerns.
- Research is shifting towards exploring secondary metabolites from beneficial microorganisms to enhance crop quality and safety.
- This review focuses on the significant secondary metabolites produced by fungi that are utilized in managing agricultural pests and diseases.
Article Abstract
Synthetic chemical pesticides have been used for many years to increase the yield of agricultural crops. However, in the future, this approach is likely to be limited due to negative impacts on human health and the environment. Therefore, studies of the secondary metabolites produced by agriculturally important microorganisms have an important role in improving the quality of the crops entering the human food chain. In this review, we have compiled information about the most important secondary metabolites of fungal species currently used in agriculture pest and disease management.
