“…L-DOPA is toxic to parasitic insects [6] such as nematodes, some of which infect plant roots. L-DOPA also inhibits the growth of neighboring plants—at a strength 100-fold higher than glyphosate [7]—likely interfering with amino acid synthesis and cell wall lignification [8]. L-DOPA is also toxic to herbivore insects; focal damage to Mucuna leaves, which already contain 1% L-DOPA, leads to local upregulation of L-DOPA [9].…”

This review contains a critical appraisal of current knowledge about the use of beans in both animal models and patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). The potential beneficial effects of beans in PD are increasingly being touted, not only in scientific journals but also by the lay media. While there is a long tradition in Ayurvedic medicine of prescribing extracts from Mucuna pruriens (MP), whose seeds contain 5% L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanin (L-DOPA), many other beans also contain L-DOPA (broad beans, common beans, and soybeans) or have other ingredients (coffee and cocoa) that may benefit PD patients. Indeed, bean-derived compounds can elicit neuroprotective effects in animal models of PD, while several studies in human PD patients have shown that motor performance can improve after ingestion of bean extracts. However, there are several arguments countering the view that beans serve as a natural therapy for PD: (i) the results from animal PD models are not necessarily directly applicable to humans; (ii) beans have many bioactive ingredients, some of which can be harmful in large doses; (iii) studies in human PD patients are scarce and only report on the effects of single doses or the administration of bean extract over short periods of time; and (iv) no data on long-term efficacy or side effects of bean therapy are available. Therefore, reservations about the use of beans as a “natural” therapy for PD seem to be justified.

“…Allelochemicals can cause changes in the plant growth and development such as cellular alterations, changes in the enzymatic activities of the phenylpropanoid pathway, reduction of leaf expansion and root elongation, reduction of the photosynthetic rate, disintegration of the cap, increase in the diameter of the vascular cylinder, and premature lignification of the metaxylem and cell wall. This may impair the nutrient absorption ability, the expansion of cells, and the ability to sustain plant growth (Soltys et al, 2011;Granã et al, 2013;Ferro et al, 2015;Bido et al, 2018).…”

The growing number of invasive species in agricultural areas reduces productivity and results in production losses. The need to discover new compounds with herbicidal activity increases as cases of resistance of invasive plants to herbicides rise. The aim of this study was to evaluate the phytotoxic potential of benzyl salicylate and benzyl benzoate upon the growth of Triticum aestivum coleoptiles and on the initial growth of Lactuca sativa, Lycopersicon esculentum, Allium cepa, T. aestivum, Euphorbia heterophylla, and Megathyrsus maximus. For the T. aestivum coleoptile bioassays, the treatments used the concentrations of 10-3 M, 3 × 10-4 M, 10-4 M, 3 × 10-5 M, and 10-5 M; while for the initial growth bioassays the concentrations of 10-3 M, 10-4 M, and 10-5 M were used. Both compounds presented a minimum of 89% growth inhibition on T. aestivum coleoptiles in all concentrations. Both compounds inhibited the growth of the root system and shoot of A. cepa and E. heterophylla at all concentrations. The species most affected by both compounds in all evaluated parameters was E. heterophylla. For the benzyl benzoate, the inhibition of the roots of E. heterophylla were statistically equivalent to those obtained with the herbicide. Regarding benzyl salicylate, the root inhibition in this species in the 10-4 M and 10-5 M treatments did not differ statistically from the herbicide in the same concentrations. Benzyl salicylate and benzyl benzoate are compounds that presented phytotoxic activity on E. heterophylla and for the first time the phytotoxic effect of these compounds on invasive species is reported.

Introducción. En agricultura orgánica, se utilizan abonos verdes y biocontroladores como métodos de fertilización y control de plagas. Sin embargo, la aplicación independiente de estos incrementa los costos de producción. Se propone una presentación peletizada que permita aplicar ambos insumos de forma conjunta. Objetivo. Evaluar el efecto de Mucuna pruriens L. peletizada e inoculada con Trichoderma harzianum Rifai en el aporte nutricional, el rendimiento agrícola y la regulación de Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. lycopersici en tomate (Solanum lycopersicum L.). Materiales y métodos. El experimento se ejecutó durante el año 2022 en Tablón del Guarco, Cartago (Costa Rica), con un diseño experimental de bloques completos al azar con siete tratamientos y siete réplicas. Se aplicaron dos formulaciones (A y B) de biopélet (M. pruriens + zeolita + T. harzianum) en tres dosificaciones (15, 30, 50 g/planta). La adición de T. harzianum se efectuó a razón de 5 g por cada kilo de biopélet. Cada 15 días se realizaron aplicaciones de cada tratamiento para un total de ocho. Al momento de la siembra se inoculó F. oxysporum (100 mL/planta con una concentración de 1 x 103 UFC). Resultados. Con la aplicación del biopélet se alcanzó un rendimiento y peso de frutos de primera calidad similar al testigo comercial. En frutos de segunda y tercera calidad, no hubo diferencias significativas entre tratamientos. La eficiencia técnica en control de F. oxysporum alcanzó el 97,6 % con biopélet. Esta enmienda aumentó los niveles de C, N y M.O en el suelo y afectó el contenido nutricional del follaje de las plantas en los primeros 60 dds. Conclusiones. El biopélet tiene la capacidad de realizar aportes químicos y orgánicos al suelo, por lo cual mejora la nutrición del cultivo del tomate. Algunas dosificaciones tuvieron un rendimiento similar al testigo comercial. Es una alternativa de biocontrol contra F. oxysporum y compatible con T. harzianum. Se debe profundizar en la dosificación y composición de esta enmienda para la sustitución parcial o total de la fertilización química en el cultivo.
