“…In recent years, the use of plant essential oils and their bioactive compounds as potentially effective biopesticides gained much importance. Essential oils are now a recognized alternative to hazardous artificial pesticides in the agricultural industry [ 38 , 39 , 40 ]. These substances possess a number of advantages—efficacy, high biodegradability, low toxicity, various modes of action, and availability of source materials.…”

Eugenol is a phenolic aromatic compound obtained mainly from clove oil. Due to its known antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, anticancer, anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, it has long been used in various areas, such as cosmetology, medicine, and pharmacology. However, high concentrations can be toxic. A dose of 2.5 mg/kg body weight is regarded as safe. This paper reviews the current state of knowledge regarding the activities and application of eugenol and its derivatives and recent research of these compounds. This review is based on information concerning eugenol characteristics and recent research from articles in PubMed. Eugenol remains of great interest to researchers, since its multidirectional action allows it to be a potential component of drugs and other products with therapeutic potential against a range of diseases.

“…In conclusion, the urge to improve sustainability in farming practices and reduce the presence of weeds such as C. canadensis , C. album and A. retroflexus in cultivated areas, should foster the use of non-synthesis and less harmful products for the environment with inhibitory action on germination and the growth of weeds without affecting the crop productions [ 71 ]. The A. alba water extract produced via hydrodynamic cavitation seems to be a possible solution to control some of the tested weeds i.e., C. canadensis , C. album , delaying germination and inhibiting root growth, while demonstrating the limited effect on horticultural species like P. sativum and S. Lycospermum , which showed no effect on germination or a relatively lower effect on root development at higher concentration.…”

This paper describes the antigerminant capacity of water extracts of silver fir needles created by means of hydrodynamic cavitation processes. Fir needles (2 kg fresh weight) collected in the winter were blended and crushed in ice, poured in water only (120 L) and processed in a controlled hydrodynamic cavitation device based on a fixed Venturi-shaped reactor. The A. alba water extract (AWE), comprising an oil-in-water emulsion of silver fir needles’ essential oil (100% AWE), was diluted in distilled water to 75% and 50% AWE, and all aqueous solutions were tested as antigerminant against four weeds and four horticultural species and compared to control (distilled water). This study shows the effective inhibitory effect of pure AWE on germination, which mainly contains limonene (15.99 ng/mL) and α-pinene (11.87 ng/mL). Seeds showed delayed germination and inhibition but also a reduction in radicle elongation in AWE treatments as compared to control. This combined effect was particularly evident in three weeds (C. canadensis, C. album and A. retrofllexus) while horticultural species showed mainly effects on the radicle elongation as found in L. sativa, P. crispum and S. lycospermum, which showed on average 58%, 32% and 28%, respectively, shorter radicles than in the control. P. sativum was not affected by AWE, thus raising the hypothesis that seed characteristics and nutrition reserve might play a role in the resistance to terpenes inhibitory effect.

“…In addition, MAPs, such as Origanum vulgare subsp. Hirtum, Foeniculum vulgare Mill, Pimpinella anisum L., and their extracts can be used as a novel feed additive in turkey production, having beneficial effects, such as food microbial safety or even can enhance production performance [ 114 ] as “green pesticides” to limit the use of hazardous synthetic pesticides (the case of Heracleum persicum and Achillea millefolium essential oil against Plodia interpunctella , citronellal from Cymbopogon winterianus against Spodoptera frugiperda larvae, or rosemary oil applied against Agriostes obscurus larvae) [ 115 ] or in the zootechnological field to enhance animals’ performance and health [ 116 ]. Moreover, purified bioactive compounds from MAPs (such as Calendula officinalis L., Lavandula vera DC, Artemisia absinthium L.) or even plant extracts (as a whole) have potential applications in the cosmetic industry, which nowadays is focused on new technologies and explores alternative sources of raw materials; the trends in this direction are based on the use of plant-origin components having polyfunctional properties and long-lasting effects [ 117 ].…”

Natural compounds obtained from different medicinal and aromatic plants have gained respect as alternative treatments to synthetic drugs, as well as raw materials for different applications (cosmetic, food and feed industries, environment protection, and many others). Based on a literature survey on dedicated databases, the aim of the present work is to be a critical discussion of aspects regarding classical extraction versus modern extraction techniques; possibilities to scale up (advantages and disadvantages of different extraction methods usually applied and the influence of extraction parameters); and different medicinal and aromatic plants’ different applications (medical and industrial applications, as well as the potential use in nanotechnology). As nowadays, research studies are directed toward the development of modern, innovative applications of the medicinal and aromatic plants, aspects regarding future perspectives are also discussed.
