Bioherbicides, also known as nature-based herbicides, play a crucial role in sustainable agriculture by effectively inhibiting weed growth and development. They help increase crop productivity by reducing competition between plants for nutrients, water, and light. Their eco-friendly nature sets bioherbicides apart, promoting environmentally conscious farming practices. Despite their numerous benefits, many bioherbicide compounds are inherently unstable and susceptible to environmental degradation by temperature, light, humidity, and microbial activity, thus posing challenges for effective weed management. To address this issue, a growing emphasis has been placed on encapsulation strategies in recent years. Encapsulation techniques offer several advantages for bioherbicides, including enhanced efficacy, sustainable biological compound release, environmental factor protection, and shelf life improvement. Polymers, particularly biopolymers, are promising materials for bioherbicide encapsulation in micro-/nanoparticles. These particles are specifically designed for the targeted delivery of bioherbicides, ensuring effective crop protection and weed management. Micro-/nanotechnology incorporation in encapsulated formulation development has revealed their notable potential. This study focuses on the latest developments in the encapsulation of bioherbicides into micro-/nanoparticles and their practical application for weed management. By leveraging micro-/nanotechnology, researchers aim to maximize bioherbicidal application and efficacy, paving the way for sustainable agricultural weed management practices. The findings of this study may serve as a reference for expanding the use of micro-/nanotechnology-associated bioherbicides for providing potential sustainable weed control solutions.

“…Bioherbicides are biological agents like microbes, insects, and plants or their derived products such as toxins and extracts that prevent the growth of weeds [14,15]. These biomolecules are released as secondary metabolites by various fungi, plants, and bacteria as defense tools against weeds [16][17][18].…”

Over the decades the presence of aquatic weeds has caused immense biodiversity loss to the ecosystem. The use of herbicides has arisen emergence of herbicide-resistant weeds and loss of inherent flora and fauna due to the recalcitrant nature of the chemicals used. Hence, there is a need to use nontoxic, ecosustainable, low-cost, and efficient biological molecules that are analogous to chemical herbicides. Various plants, bacteria, fungi as well a few viruses are reported to secrete allelopathic biomolecules that inhibit the growth and development of weeds. However, majorly fungal pathogens and their metabolites are found to be effective biocontrol agents for the water hyacinth. The present review puts forward major findings and interventions in the biological control of the weed, water hyacinth. The biosynthesis, mechanism of action and factors regulating the activity of bioherbicides are discussed. In addition, the issues associated with the in situ application of these bioherbicides are also conferred focusing on the available mode of applications and formulation used. The major factors include the type and concentration of allelopathic biomolecules, age, type, and morphology of targeted weed, formulation type, mode of application and other physiological and environmental factors. Among various modes for the application of bioherbicides, emulsions are found to be most effective for the control of water hyacinth. Most of the toxicity studies indicated no toxicity of this fungal pathogen to other ecological plant species except water hyacinth. Yet, in-depth investigations are needed of these allelochemicals and toxins before field applications. Overall, lab-scale studies have shown promising results and highlighted a few potential fungi that need to be further explored for optimizing their bioherbicidal activity.

“…Wetness duration, dew period temperature, plant growth stage, pathogen concentration, and adjuvants are the major factors associated with bioherbicide efficacy [ 38 , 39 , 40 , 41 ]. A sufficient source of infection is the first step to causing an infection of the target host, so the appropriate concentration of the pathogen is essential for the pathogen to colonize the host.…”

Barnyardgrass (Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) Beauv.) is one of the most troublesome weeds in transplanted and direct-seeded rice worldwide. To develop a strategy for the biocontrol of barnyardgrass, fungal isolates were recovered from barnyardgrass plants that exhibited signs of necrosis and wilt. An isolate B-48 with a high level of pathogenicity to barnyardgrass was identified after pathogenicity tests. From cultural and DNA sequence data, this strain was identified as Colletotrichum echinochloae. The inoculation of the barnyardgrass plant with C. echinochloae caused a significant reduction in fresh weight. The isolate B-48 was highly pathogenic to barnyardgrass at the three- to four-leaf stages. When inoculated at a concentration of 1 × 107 spores/mL, barnyardgrass could achieve a reduction in fresh weight of more than 50%. This strain was safe for rice and most plant species. The results of this study indicated that this strain could be a potential mycoherbicide for barnyardgrass control in paddy fields in the future.
