Abstract
Numerous plants produce benzoxazinoids, primarily DIBOA and DIMBOA or its derivatives, which primarily function as part of the plant's defense mechanisms against a variety of pests, fungi, and weeds and have the potential to supplant synthetic fungicides, weedicides, and pesticides. In general, synthetic chemicals are affordable and efficient, but only in the short run. Target organisms on which they are spread rapidly develop resistance to it. Furthermore, due to their high toxicity and lack of degradability, these synthetic compounds have long been a significant cause of environmental pollution and human diseases. Thus, to keep a green future, this brief review is focused on the various aspects of using benzoxazinoids as a biocontrol agent rather than synthetic chemicals.
