"Natural pesticides and allelochemicals are used for protection against invasive plants, but when released into the environment they can have both positive and negative effects on plants. This book discusses a holistic and sustainable approach that balances effective pest management with minimizing environmental impacts, promoting biodiversity, and ensuring food safety and quality. It brings together proposals to improve the quality of management and production of healthier foods using compounds of natural origin. The authors provide a diverse picture of the applications of terpenoids in plant safety and the possibilities for innovative biotechnological approaches for their extraction"--.
