An Overview on Bio Herbicides in Organic Horticulture

Abstract

For organic horticulturists, weeds are one  of the most difficult, time consuming, or costly production  concerns. As the consequence of the organic agriculture has  grown, so has the demand for innovative bio pesticides to  control weeds. Pathogens, organic chemicals, and natural  fiber extracts might all be employed to develop viable bio  herbicides. Pathogenic fungus and bacteria are two of the  most common microorganisms that might be used as  bioherbicides. Herbicidal properties have been proven in  byproducts from natural source like as dry distiller's grain  with soluble, corns gluten meals or mustard seeds meal.  Bioherbicide potential has also been discovered in essential  oil extracts. When applying a bioherbicide, the most  important factor to consider is its efficacy, which may be  impacted by a variety of factors such as humidity and  moisture, application technique, bioherbicide spectrum, and  formulation type. Aside from efficacy, bioherbicide use is  limited due to cost and concerns about potential human  health risks. Because incorporating advanced bioherbicide  techniques into existing weed-control offerings could help  manage herbicide, lower costs, but also increase crop  yields, future research should focus on developing more  cost-effective but still effective bioherbicides for weed  control, as well as optimizing manufacturing techniques  rather than traditions through the use of application  submission bioherbicides.
