“…Although propolis is not as effective as pyrethroids, it shows promising effects compared to other tested plant materials. For instance, parallel tests of propolis extract and shiitake polysaccharide fraction against angular leaf spot on strawberries in vivo demonstrated better results for propolis [45]. Propolis extract showed comparable effectiveness to neem (Azadirachta indica) and Mexican sunflower (Tithonia diversifolia) in population management of the Larger Grain Borer Prostephanus truncatus on maize grains [87].…”

Recently, the search for sustainable and environmentally friendly agrochemicals from natural origin is steadily growing. Propolis, a resinous substance collected by honeybees, well known for its diverse biological activities, has attracted the attention of scientists and farmers with its agrochemical potential in the last years. This review article aims to delve into the fascinating world of propolis and its utilization in agriculture. Here, we provide a brief overview of propolis: its chemical composition and the bioactive substances responsible for its biological properties. The effectiveness of propolis in controlling common pests and diseases that affect crops, suppressing postharvest illnesses of fruits and vegetables, stimulating plant defenses and increasing stress resistance, is reviewed. Discussion of the challenges and future perspectives related to the integration of propolis in agriculture is also one of our objectives, including chemical variability, standardization and regulatory considerations. We also focused on the latest research trends and technological advances that promise to unlock the full potential of propolis as a sustainable agricultural tool.
